Heritage in Every Harvest
EACH VINTAGE CARRIES THE SOUL OF TURKEY FLAT’S BAROSSA HERITAGE.
Our Roots
From the first vines planted in 1847 to a heritage that continues to flourish, Turkey Flat embodies the heart and history of the Barossa Valley.
Turkey Flat takes its name from early Prussian settlers who mistook the native Plains Bustard for a turkey. A bird and landscape that still inspire us today. Our first Shiraz vines were planted that same year by Johann Fiedler, one of the Barossa’s original winemakers. His pioneering spirit lives on through the Schulz family, caretakers of the estate since the 1860s.
The Schulz family became custodians of Turkey Flat in the 1860s and have upheld its winemaking tradition for more than 150 years. Today, Christie Schulz, the fourth generation, leads the estate. Blending history, innovation, and deep respect for the land. The 1847 Shiraz vines remain the centrepiece of our family vineyard and are among the oldest in Australia.
