Charles Melton

In the heart of the Barossa Valley, Charles Melton is one of Australia's most beloved wineries, a champion of old-vine Shiraz and Grenache made with warmth and character. Charlie Melton's wines helped define modern Barossa, and none more so than the legendary Grenache-Shiraz blend Nine Popes. His is a name that Barossa lovers say with real affection. From the iconic Rose of Virginia to powerful old-vine reds and a cool-climate Shiraz from the Adelaide Hills, the range is generous, honest and full of soul. Everything is made to be enjoyed, with rich fruit balanced by a savoury depth. Rich, characterful and deeply Barossan, these are wines made with real heart rather than to a formula. They wear their generosity proudly. Decant the reds and serve at cool room temperature, and taste the warmth of the valley.
