Australian family owned
From the Auchli family, who own and operate the winery, to our grape growers and winemakers, we have an immense daily passion about wine which is rooted in the origin of 1837 Barossa. Tremendous dedication to each detail, and the tough demands that we make on ourselves: this is what drives us at 1837 Barossa every day.  Since decades the Auchli family and their dedicated team travelled throughout the world on behalf of 1837 Barossa, and met distributors, experts and wine enthusiasts mainly in Europe. The Principals and current custodians of 1837 Barossa organized wine events and make themselves available to visitors and guests at 1837 Barossa. Enthusiasts of 1837 Barossa can combine the joy of a wine tasting and a meeting with our wine ambassadors; it is an opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss vintages and share the joys of such pleasure.

Our Winemakers: Barossa Valley master craftsman of wine making
1837 Barossa succeeded in gaining the most renowned winemakers of Australia. The Auchli family has been instrumental in gaining the best talents available from all over the world to produce the most iconic Australian wines. The team of winemakers is supervised by the Vigneron of the Auchli family and Vintner Peter Gajewski. Each individual step in wine production is carried out in the same way a grand painter uses oils to paint a work of art. Perfection in each brushstroke, until the painting has achieved its intrinsic value. In this respect, the winemakers of 1837 Barossa are artisans through and through. Our winemaker understands that it takes this utter devotion to create a truly grand wine. In applying this passion, with each vintage, our winemaker crafts an astounding top-level wine that consistently amazes impassioned wine enthusiasts, and that wine experts regularly crown with the highest marks.

Our vintners: 5th generation of Barossa master vintners
1837 Barossa and the Auchli family is proud to have perhaps the best vintners of our time for the growing of vineyard grapes. Viticulture is overseen by 5th–generation grower Michael Heinrich with a philosophy of minimal chemical input. The A–graded vineyards are currently undergoing a transformation into EcoVineyards with native plantings. Viticulture is our grape growers passion. Each stage in the work process is in itself a handicraft, one that should be carried out with a passion for detail and a singular goal in mind: to produce the best grapes of Barossa Valley, every year. This, in turn, can have only one purpose: to establish the foundation for a grand wine.
