The WHY Behind It

At The Local Batch, we are a multicultural team. Everyone may have a different background, but they all come together to work towards a common goal. We want to empower small growers and create a platform where they can share their wine and stories with you. This is done by creating sales strategies, finding new markets to showcase their products and engaging with another wine enthusiast who loves a glass of wine as we do.

In a nutshell:

  • Share with the outside world the best small-batch wines from Australian Wine Regions.
  • Connect buyers (and wine lovers) directly with small boutique wine producers.
  • Empower and inspire growers to release their wine on the market.
  • Give small growers a voice to tell their story and preserve their legacy.
  • Find places where quality wine is more important than quantity.

The Barossa Valley is one of the most famous wine regions in Australia. It is also a place where grape growers and small winemakers are waiting for their opportunity to share their unique flavours and stories. Unfortunately, there is no time for them to go door-knocking and show you how great their wine is. Luckily for them, that is why we are here! Keep an eye on the website, and follow us on our Instagram and Facebook to get in first place for our newest releases and get to know the families behind these goodies.
