Charlie Melton, one of the Barossa Valley’s great characters, with wife Virginia by his side, makes some of the most eagerly sought à la mode wines in Australia. Inevitably, the Melton empire has continued to grow in response to the insatiable demand. There are now 7 ha at Lyndoch, 9 ha at Krondorf and 1.6 ha at Light Pass, the lion’s share shiraz and grenache, and a small planting of cabernet sauvignon.An additional 30-ha property was purchased in High Eden, with 10 ha of shiraz planted in 2009, and a 5-ha field planting of grenache, shiraz, mataro, carignan, cinsaut, picpoul and bourboulenc planted in ’10. The expanded volume has had no adverse effect on the wonderfully rich, sweet and well-made wines. The original Krondorf village church (circa 1864) has been acquired and converted to guest accommodation. Exports to all major markets.
