IMPORT SCHWARZ WINE CO
Welcome to Schwarz Wine Company, a small, family-owned winery in the Barossa Valley. Founded in 2001 by 5th generation Barossa boy, Jason Schwarz came to winemaking via a circuitous path. While he grew up surrounded by vines at his parent’s property in Bethany, he initially studied wine marketing at the University of Adelaide. On completion of his studies he headed overseas visiting Bordeaux, Burgundy, and The Napa, working in Stellenbosch and Zell, Germany. It was during his travels that he realised that his calling was winemaking rather than marketing.
He pursued his passion for winemaking by purchasing a small parcel of fruit from his father's Nitschke Block Shiraz vineyard in 2001.
With no formal qualifications in winemaking, Jason instead takes a minimal intervention, hands-off intuitive approach.
"Our aim is simple; to produce hand-crafted wines from Barossa Valley old vines where the finished products are expressions of the vineyard and the vintage they came from. Our small-batch wines are not mainstream - they are vibrant, new-age impressions of Barossa classics, designed to allow the fruit to speak for itself and tell a story through the glass."
