Grant and Helen Burge are synonymous with the Barossa where they started in 1988. Recently bought by Accolade, so watch this space and see what happens. The Burge label has always meant, rich, concentrated wines offering value for money. The Ink label is just about that, as indicated on their website: “Barossa Ink came about as a challenge set down by the Grant Burge winemaking team to come up with the most vibrant and impactful wines as possible.
