Barossa Ranges
The
Barossa Ranges
are located in the state of
South Australia
in
Australia
. They are a part of the southern
Mount Lofty Ranges
and primarily run along the eastern side of the
Barossa Valley
. The range was named by

Spain
, to which he found similarities. The Barossa Ranges is the source for the

wineries
in the region, including those in
Eden Valley
