Dell'uva Wines - Greenock

By far the best wine experience in the Barossa, for Italian varietals you can't go past Dell'uva. Located in Greenock, they also do great pizza. It was back to Dell'uva at Greenock on Sunday, and great to catch up with Wayne Farquhar, the maestro behind the brand. He specialises in varietals, and currently has 30 different varietals on his cellar door list. In total he has about 100 varieties in the ground, of which 50 have made it to bottled wine. They are just releasing the 2021 vintage , of which i am looking forward to tasting after Easter, however, dont expect to see any wines from 2022, they got hammered by hail losing 90% of the crop. The Fiano from 2021 is almost gone, the 2020 Arinto is still one of my favorites. The only thing Wayne adds to the wine is bentonite , you will never get a hangover from his wines, they are clean pure and delicious.Nothing is altered to enhance colour or flavors . If you enjoy talking wine spend some time with Wayne, his knowledge is inspirational. My favorites from today were the 2020 Vino Blanco, a blend of Albarino Reisling Vermentino, and the 2016 Dolcetto, which had 4 years in oak. This is a smooth fruit driven red, its elegant and silky, and picked a gold medal with 93 points thru Wine Showcase magazine The vilage of Greenock is becoming a stand alone destination these days with 4-5 wineries, a Brewery, a terrific pub doing really good meals, an oval for self contained campers, and a couple of really good dining options including El Estanco, who put a spanish twist on casual dining. #travelsouthaustralia #winetasting #rareozzies #barossavalley #delluvawines #varietalwines #travelaustralia

We booked in her for pizza wine tasting. What a treat! The best value for money wine tasting and the wines were all so different, and drinkable! The pizza was amazing, best crust ever! Wayne was lovely. If you are ever around Greenock, this is worth going to.

The team at Dell’uva produce some amazing wines. A great selection of high quality European varieties that won’t be matched anywhere else in the Barossa. Bianca was very helpful and friendly through the cellar door tasting experience, we’ll be back next time we’re in the Barossa.

Great winery with a huuuuge range of European varieties all made here in SA still. Do a tasting with a group it's a very unique experience and the wines were magnificent. The cellar door is not as rustic or as characteristic as some you may find (it's still a great Celler door) but this is all about the wine here. We loved it and was our favourite stop of the day.

Do you think having a lot of variety means less in quality? Think again! Dell’uva exhibits mastery of all its wines with finesse. The tasting board will also keep your palate balanced with the great conversation from Wayne or Mitch. Highly recommended for a visit.
