Domain Day

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Domain Day is an Australian winery located in the south-eastern hills of the Barossa Valley in South Australia. Founded by Robin Day in the late 1990s, the Domain Day vineyard was planted at Mount Crawford in 1999. Its altitude of 450 metres and the mix of unusual varieties make it one of the coolest and most interesting vineyards in the Barossa.

Mainstream varieties Merlot, Pinot Noir and Riesling are supplemented by small plantings of Viognier, Sangiovese, Saperavi, Lagrein, Garganega, Nebbiolo and Sagrantino.

Domain Day was the first vineyard to plant Garganega in commercial quantities outside of Italy. Similarly, plantings of Lagrein and Saperavi were among the first in Australia.
