Paving the way for Barossa’s future
When Casey Miles left high school, politics was not on her radar, but a series of opportunities has given the young Barossan a different perspective.
Wings of passion
Lincoln Nitschke’s interest in airplanes began when he was a young lad. “I used to fly with a control line model aircraft,” Lincoln shares, “and also had a great interest in building plastic scale kit models.” Lincoln’s first model came as a gift from his mother, who had bought it from Nuriootpa for two and sixpence.
In their corner
In the peachy glow of a Barossa sunrise, 47-year-old Teresa Gerlach clicks the front door closed and steps out along the tidy tree-lined street of her historic home at Nuriootpa. Her Maltese Poodle, Luca, trots loyally at her ankles, silent companion to this daily ritual – Teresa’s mental and physical “reset” before she willingly hands over her daily attention to the needs of others.
Ripening Innovation
Amanda Mader’s journey through viticulture exemplifies resilience, determination, bold risk-taking and a deep love for the land. Affectionately known as Mandy, she shines as a woman in innovation as she pioneers a new era in vineyard management.
One foot in front of the other
For close to 40 years, Mark Weaver’s tools of the trade were police-issued handcuffs and the words of wisdom he carried in his police warrant card: “The loser says it’s possible but too difficult; the winner say it’s difficult, but it’s possible”.
A mission and a promise
Helen Wilhelm not only believes in miracles – she is one. Despite facing a lifetime of physical disability and a near-death experience, she has devoted her life in service of others, and faces every challenge with a heart of gratitude and faith.
Community
Volunteers help to build the beating heart of the Barossa
Volunteering is a thread that runs through the Barossa, linking people together through time, as well as creating moments of pure joy and satisfaction for those willing to walk the rewarding path of giving back to their community.

Kalleske Wines
Since 1853, the Kalleske family has continually farmed land on the outskirts of Greenock. Seven generations have contributed to the property, all following in the footsteps of Eduard and Rosina Kalleske who planted the first vines, some of which still grow today.
Cutting through the barriers
Winding its way westward from Tanunda, Stonewell Road provides a glimpse of an ancient soil profile as the hill rises gently and the road cuts through to reveal ochre coloured horizons.
A fortified love for wine
Ron Liebich walks into Liebichwein’s Cellar Door, wearing shorts, tee-shirt and trademark pair of snips clipped to his leather belt. He’s somewhat chirpy today because this Rowland Flat winemaker/grapegrower has just completed his 54th vintage and he reckons it’s a good one too.
Rebecca Reynolds
The power of public voice. Making the invisible visible. With a long family association, a childhood spent at the pool, a passion for all things aquatic, and a good dose of community activism, the threatened closure of the historic Nuriootpa War Memorial Swimming pool back in 2020, saw Rebecca Reynolds dive head first into the Nuri Pool Working group campaign to save the pool.
Roland Weight
Roland Weight will be well known to many in the Barossa and indeed to many from further afield. He is the instigator to a lot of visual artists in the Barossa. He started the Byron Bay School of Art and trained as a sculptural artist.
