Food Matching Note
:
|
|
A great partner for beef, full-flavoured meat and poultry dishes, good Indian curries, and, of course, perfect with a fine matured cheddar cheese. The quintessential barbecue grill partner.

Tasting Note
:
|
|
Dense black hue with a deep garnet rim. Lashings of dusted chocolate with an underlay of dark plum characters can be found on the opulent nose. A beautifully structured and stylish shiraz, where the rich dark fruit flavours are restrained and balanced by the firm, yet soft, fine-grained. Finishes lengthy, complex and textured.

“When God invented Shiraz, he did so with the Barossa in mind!” Peter Lehmann
Shiraz has a long and glorious history in the Barossa where it has flourished uninterrupted since the 1850’s. The Barossa blessedly escaped the scourge of phylloxera and this means that many of its great Shiraz vineyards remain planted on their own roots. This makes the Barossa the envy of the wine world. The soils of the Barossa and its climate are ideal for producing full-flavoured, rich-fruited Shiraz wines capable of great longevity. Barossa Shiraz is the wine internationally recognised as Australia’s contribution to the great wines of the world.
This wine was picked at perfect ripeness from selected mature vineyards in the Barossa. Crushed, chilled and fermented in stainless steel on the grape skins extract colour, rich fruit and structure, then aged in French and American oak hogshead barrels, adding complexity and maturing into a smooth, layered, generous wine.
