This quality family winery produces mainly prestige wines for Aussie and global hospitality markets with a smaller portion sold in Fine Wine Merchants. The pandemic and ensuing cost of living crisis has negatively affected those markets causing surprise CLEARANCES like this stunning 2021 Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shira. 4 Gold’s & 2 x 5 Star ratings to its credit… likely more will follow for this superb 2021 vintage Single Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz. The 21-year-old vines produce low yield high quality fruit. Cooler temperatures enabled the fruit to hang out on the vines and ripen more slowly and evenly. Resulting in intense flavour concentration and colour… the overall quality is exceptional. Fine Wine Delivery are secretly CLEARING this 4 x Gold Medal + Double 5 Star Barossa Shiraz in NZ under our legendary “Hidden Label” program… you buy on trust without knowing the brand… when it arrives with you it will be wearing its normal label, you can Google it in Australia and confirm its normal price. I like the restrained 7-day maceration on skins (normally 18-20 days) and 20% use of new French & American oak for 15 months. It has allowed the juicy Barossa fruit to be the hero… whilst achieving excellent oak complexity and finesse. Share this one with your mates so you can drink it at their place too. It’s eminently drinkable as a young Shiraz given the elegant contrast to its generous Barossa laden palate… but comes with 10-15 years of cellar potential as well should you choose.

Classic Barossa Shiraz aromas of black Doris plums, dark berries, cassis, coffee grinds, chocolate, vanilla, anise and pepper.

A rich, smooth, opulent palate with a creamy texture and where silky, velvety tannins caress the insides of your cheeks, creating warmth and depth. Dark chocolate, black plum & berries, vanilla and sandalwood flavours abound in this succulent, generous and approachable Barossa beauty. Too easy to drink, it’s perfect with anything off the BBQ and hard cheeses.
