When Jim Lambert’s business travels brought him to Australia in the 1990’s, he realised his love of wine and beautiful places could mark out a new future for him and Pam, his wife. This dream was realised when they discovered the vineyards just out of Angaston in the Barossa hills that would become Lambert Estate. Their son Kirk joined Jim and Pam on their journey from Wisconsin in the USA to the Barossa Valley. Kirk studied wine making at the University of Adelaide and it was there that he met and fell in love with fellow student Vanesa.
Now married, it’s Kirk and Vanesa who fuse their American and Peruvian backgrounds with their expertise in wine making. It’s a fusion that brings their flair and individuality into every bottle of multiple award winning wine.
Lambert Estate’s 100 acres of Barossa Valley land features 17 different soil types and a variety of distinctive microclimates that emerge from each block’s elevation and position. That means we’re able to create a range of premium hand crafted estate-grown wines that take full advantage of what nature has blessed us with.
Nestled in the rolling hills to the west of Angaston in the beautiful Barossa wine country, the Lambert Estate is blessed with some of the region’s finest soils and climatic conditions. That is part of the reason why every bottle of Lambert Estate wine is unique and special. And, because we are a little higher in elevation than much of the Barossa Valley to the east, it is a pristine, unspoiled location that produces intense, complex wines loved across Australia and around the world.
Winemakers Kirk and Vanesa carefully craft our wine range. By matching vines to subtle soil and climate differences, and by carefully monitoring watering, our wines fully express the potential in our estate-grown grapes. It’s an approach that blends traditional winemaking with modern techniques.
The winery has been built into the hillside and reflects the natural shape of the terrain. Without the need for pumps, we’re able to let gravity do a lot of the work. This saves energy, and treats the fruit more gently, which is always good news for the wine we make. It also means our winery is a naturally cooler space, with less need for air conditioning to develop the quality of our wines.
A visit to the Barossa – and, especially, a journey of discovery to Lambert Estate - wouldn’t be quite the same without a bite to eat. You can join us for lunch in the restaurant, or indulge yourself with a tasting platter. We proudly support local food, which means our food features the best that the Barossa and South Australia has to offer. The restaurant uses ingredients and fresh produce sourced from our own orchard and kitchen garden, including several native Australian ingredients.
When we designed our new facilities here at Lambert Estate, we wanted to provide an amazing space in the Barossa for a wide range of special events. From business meetings, to group luncheons... from weddings to special parties – we’ve got it covered. It’s a beautiful venue with stunning views, the perfect location to create memories that will last a lifetime.
