Hayes Family Wines
Hayes Family Wines draws from the Barossa Valley, South Australia's premier region for bold, structured reds. The winery focuses on Shiraz and Grenache, varieties that thrive in the region's warm continental climate and ancient soils. The Koonunga Shiraz, a flagship expression, demonstrates the depth and power characteristic of Barossa fruit. The Primrose Vineyard Shiraz and Vineyard Series Glengrae Old Bush Block Grenache round out the portfolio, each capturing distinct terroir signatures. Wines from Hayes Family have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff, reflecting their standing within serious wine criticism. The winery's approach centers on the region's heritage varieties and old-vine material, translating Barossa's intensity into wines of substance and complexity.
