Izway Wines is a boutique winemaking business founded by Craig Isbel and Brian Conway based in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. We both have significant Australian and international wine industry experience, establishing the Izway label during vintage in France in 2002. We seek to produce wines from the highest quality fruit, sourced from low yielding, hand tended, unirrigated vines. The wine style is strongly influenced by old world hands on winemaking with an emphasis on vineyard quality. We are very proud of being Australian ‘lads’, and hope our wines express a little of the down to earth, tongue in cheek ‘Aussieness’ that we both possess, without detracting from the seriously complex and intense flavors that are indicative of what we are trying to do. All Izway wines are unfiltered and unfined in order to maximise flavour and retain the wines' integrity. There are no animal products involved in the production of Izway wines.
