[Mystery #1] 2021 Premium Barossa Valley Shiraz

Another Barossa Valley beauty from this super well-known winery with Gold and two 96pt scores!

The vineyard is where the original family homestead is located. Situated in Rowland Flat, this vineyard sits at 380 metres above sea level. Vineyards at this altitude are traditionally much lower-yielding and produce fruit of the highest quality.

Intense and complex, this full-bodied Shiraz is rich and velvety with firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Flavours of blackberry, plum and cherry with subtle notes of dark chocolate and black pepper round out this robust and well-balanced wine.

"Super deep crimson in the glass with opulent aromas of blackberry, black cherry and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of clove, cinnamon, blackstrap licorice, blackforest cake, dark chocolate bullets, cedar, vanilla bean, olive tapenade and earth. Full bodied and lush with a curtain of powdery tannin and a beautiful créme-de-cassis-like flow to the fruit. There's lots of latent power and fruit depth on display here but nothing feels heavy or overdone." 96pts, Dave Brookes, The Halliday Wine Companion

“Gosh, this is a good wine... from the first aromas of perfumed dark fruits... the plush plummy fruit characters come together with spice and dark chocolate rolling effortlessly off the palate as it gathers momentum to a long finish. Classy wine here.” 96pts, Ken Gargett, WinePilot
