Bachelor Bert Kleinig, who along with his ancestors, owned and worked land at Koonunga and Ebenezer, in the Barossa’s north for 83 years.

Sadly, Bert suffered a fatal heart attack while feeding hay to his sheep from a trailor being towed by a driverless tractor. Passers-by were alerted to his fate when they saw his tractor trying in vain to get up a embankment.

Andrew’s parents, John and Barb purchased this land in 1977 knowing its potential to produce premium wine grapes and the vineyards they developed in the following years make up the main base of ‘The Bachelor’ blend.

‘The Bachelor’ is produced by carefully selecting small sections of wine grapes from the family owned vineyards of Atze’s corner wines. As every variety of wine grapes is affected by the climate differently every vintage, only the parcels of fruit of appropriate quality are selected in the blend.
