Tasting Notes

Aroma

This wine has loads of blueberry and black olive character on the nose.

Appearance

Vibrant purple colour.

Palate

The whole bunch component gives a dried herb character to the wine and adds freshness to the palate. It is particularly generous in red and dark fruit thanks to the slightly cooler and longer growing season of 2023.

Vinification

A small amount of whole bunch and fermented in both small and medium sized open fermenters using wild yeast. A combination of hand plunging and pump overs allowed for gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. After 13 days on skins the wine was pressed and put to medium and large French oak for 10 months. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining.

Cellaring Potential

Ready to drink now or cellar for 5-10 years.

Range Notes

The story behind the label: The owl connects to our property, where we have regular Tawny Frogmouth visitors, especially in and around our G and H Shiraz blocks. The upside-down house symbolises the fact that this is our entry level, 'house' Shiraz, but flipped on its head. Lighter, fresher and a drink now style that is an attempt at writing a new chapter in the Barossa Shiraz history book.

Food Matching

A great drink on its own, but can also pair well with red meat dishes.

    Plenty to like here. Mid-weighted Barossa shiraz, savoury in shape with a nice, spacious mouthfeel and characters of juicy plum and boysenberry fruits cut with hints of spice, earth, blood orange, citrus blossom and ginger cake. Light, powdery tannins and bright acid cadence; it makes for great drinking. It would probably take a brief chill in the fridge, too, if you're feeling frisky. Points: 92/100
