About Landhaus - the Winery
Landhaus
John, Barbara and Kane Jaunutis love of the Barossa with its wines, people & lifestyle developed over 30 years of visiting the region
In 2002 they set out to live the dream and passion and bought the Landhaus property with its Vineyard and Cottage built in 1842 by the first Barossa Settlers. It was a tough start as the vineyard was badly distressed and in need of a lot of T.L.C. So the decision was made to cut and drop the grapes from the 02 vintage, so the vines could shut down with happy memories. After a further 12 months work on the vineyards, the vines starting to respond and good bunches forming when disaster stuck, 2 weeks before the 03 vintage with a freak hailstorm and heavy rain which ruined the crop and once again we had to cut and drop the grapes.
Finally in 04 Landhaus with son Kane, as winemaker, produced the first vintage of Basket Pressed Shiraz, 270 Dozen, which sold out in 8 weeks when it was released. The dream was realized and the vision to produce super premium wines was born. Landhaus now produces 8 varieties totaling 4800 cases of premium & super premium wines per year. The vision was for Landhaus to be distinctly Boutique & Contemporary Australian, reflecting a commitment to uncompromising quality and innovation.
Kane Jaunutis, set the Landhaus winemaking philosophy, their family represents the heart of all activities. All the generations of people in the Barossa who devoted their lives to wine, have instilled in their souls a deep respect for the identity of the territory and a firm characterization of Landhaus wines.
What they want to offer is simply the best interpretation of the Barossa terroir through their deep rooted beliefs, by trying to mediate and to mix tradition with innovation, according to the Latin saying in medio stat virtus. Landhaus wines never look for unconditional approval, their personality is not prone to easy compromise. Landhaus want to make wines that are stylish, seductive and sophisticated.
John Jaunutis came to the wine industry from a finance background. He developed his passion for wine having spent years attending wine tastings and collecting and drinking the wines of the world. From day one, John's role has been multifaceted. Barbara joins the Wine Industry from a fairly diverse & successful career.
Kane Jaunutis is the Winemaker, she has a reputation as a innovative and progressive young winemaker who's attention to detail have ensured the creation of the best interpretation of Barossa Valley regional wines, using the finest fruit, intuitive winemaking and aged in super fine oak. Kane has managed one of Australia's Best Wine Retail stores in East End Cellars and has worked vintages with Trevor Jones and Mitolo. In 2005, Kane was employed by Mitolo as a Winemaker and to help with the Sales and Marketing. From there Kane has taken over the reins as Winemaker of Landhaus wines, which has led to James Halliday putting Landhaus in the Top Ten Best New Wineries in Australia in his 2010 companion from a first time submission.
