Dorrien Wine District
The Dorrien Wine District includes vineyards and wineries located in the Barossa Valley Wine Region between the townships of Dorrien and Maranangain the Barossa Valley. The Barossa is Australia's richest and best known winemaking and viticultural region. The total area planted to vineyards is about 17,000 acres, with an annual production approaching 60,000 tonnes. The soils in the Barossa vary considerable from the alluvial sands and rich, fertile black soil on the Barossa Valley Floor to the infertile slopes overlying limestone in the Eden Valley,, and the sandy loams overlaying clay in the western parts of Barossa. This wide range generates the distinct regional characteristics and leads to the distinct terroirs in the various districts throughout the Barossa Valley. The Barossa has a Mediterranean
climate with cool wet winters and long dry summers where maximum temperatures average between 30 and 35 degrees centigrade.
Most of the rain fall between April and October, and the average annual rainfall is about 550mm.
