Charles Melton

Barossa Valley

Since the first vintage of Charles Melton Wines in 1984, this small Barossa Valley winery has gained both national and international recognition for its premium red table wines.

The portfolio of wines produced by Charlie Melton includes a light red, ‘The Rose of Virginia’, described as, ‘The Best Rosé in Australia’, through to Australia’s premier Rhone-style red, ‘Nine Popes’. Charlie Melton also makes small quantities of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sparkling Shiraz.

Charlie was one of the first to recognize the value and tradition of the Barossa’s old vineyard Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre. At a time when others were pulling out vineyards of Shiraz to plant more fashionable varieties, Charlie was convincing farmers to keep their historic vineyards. He was one of a small group of winemakers who helped retain the viticultural heritage of the Barossa.

As Charlie's fame has grown, he has continued to move forward. He was one of the first producers to bottle his top red wines under 'stelvin' closure, as he is convinced the wine will age more gradually and consistently. The wines of Charles Melton are not your usual burly Barossa beasts. Instead, they have wonderful balance and freshness, with the use of French oak giving them a supple texture and balance that few Barossa wines have.
