About this Wine

BEST IN SHOW | DECANTER WORLD WINE AWARDS

Darkish and purplish. From East to West: grenache at its best. Dark soy, earthy five spice; cinnamon and musk and cardamon; balsamic and then pastis and then English Christmas Cake… Sharp and heightened aromaticity but with depth to plumb below. Underplayed complexity. Clean and clear acidity ushers everything else in: round tannins that are at once both miniature and everywhere; dark berry fruits that are as cool as the cool morning upon which they were cooly picked; and then dry and savoury flavours and textures trip in as if all so naturally intended, by some Great Clockmaker. This is red wine that has a meaningful weightlessness and an elfin heft. Everyone makes grenache this way, don’t they?

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
