The vineyard occupies a 1 km scenic stretch of fertile land, along the Barossa Valley way. The elevated position is highly exposed to the tourist providing an ideal opportunity for cellar door sales.

In more than one way, Six Gates is immersed in history. Soon after the first European settlement in Barossa Valley mid 1800s, the property became a Stagecoach Station linking Adelaide to the outback Australia. A historic ironstone barn and a homestead of that era are now within the neighbouring title. The property was under wine production early last century and the new plantings of Six Gates Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon were established in 1998.
