History
Colonel William Light, founder of Adelaide and first Surveyor-General of South Australia, traversed our estate on 13th December 1837, when exploring the north-east of Adelaide. On this historic occasion, he named our town Lyndoch and the surrounding hills Barossa. The Barossa Colonel Light Monument, a life-size bronze statue of Colonel Light on horseback, and the iconic Barossa Manor commemorate the birthplace of the world-famous Barossa wine region on our estate. Generations of our winemakers have dedicated their work to this grand tradition, embodying our heritage of outstanding winemaking in every bottle.
This wine is named after Col. Light’s fond memories of George Doughty, Sheriff of Suffolk in England and his wife Anne Goodwin who educated William Light in his young years from 1793-1799. He became attached to the Doughtys and later named his house in Adelaide after their family home Theberton Hall in Suffolk.
