In 1998 brothers, Ben and Mario Barletta established Australian Domaine Wines (ADW) as a premium South Australian wine company with a focus on developing individually charactered regional wines. Up to that stage they had over 10 years experience as very successful retail wine merchants in Adelaide . It was there in 1993 at that they started producing their own Clare Grenache under the Barletta label which spawned the ADW concept after the sale of their retail business. Since then ADW and its associated joint venture companies have become red wine dominant by design, although from selected vintages a very small volume of Clare Valley Riesling is made under the Barletta label. Since 1998 ADW has established vineyard and winery contracts within South Australia 's premier winegrowing regions with wines being made from Mclaren Vale, Barossa Valley , Clare Valley , Langhorne Creek and the Limestone Coast .
