Cirillo

Barossa Valley Grenache, Semillon, and Shiraz with prestige critic recognition.

Cirillo produces wines from Barossa Valley, South Australia's premier region for bold reds and distinctive whites. The winery's portfolio centers on two flagship expressions: the 1850 Ancestor Vine Grenache and 1850 Ancestor Vine Semillon, both of which have earned recognition from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. The Grenache, rated 94.3 on average by prestige critics, captures the ripe, structured character typical of Barossa Grenache—a variety that thrives in the region's warm continental climate. The Semillon, averaging 94.0, reflects the textural complexity and mineral tension the variety achieves in South Australia's hands. Complementing these anchor wines is a Single Vineyard Shiraz (93.0 avg rating), which exemplifies the region's mastery of this dark-skinned grape. Barossa Valley's deep soils and diurnal temperature variation produce wines of concentration and balance, qualities evident across Cirillo's range.
