The vision of sixth generation vigneron, Damien Tscharke - Damien's vision to explore and develop alternative varietals in the Barossa Valley led to the establishment of Tscharke wines in 2004. Whilst respectful of Barossa grape growing traditions, he believes the terroir and microclimate offer the perfect location for other varietals to be introduced. Following extensive research Tempranillo, Graciano, Montepulciano, Zinfandel and Albarino were selected and planted on the family property between 1999 and 2002.
