Terroirs of the Barossa Greenock Shiraz 2016
Tasting Notes

The dark, brooding regional characters of plum, red cherry and liquorice are all to the fore of this wine.

The palate is focused and linear, with dark bitter chocolate notes and an elegant long persistent finish. We recommend cellaring for 10 years.

Winemaking

The most westerly zone of the Barossa, known as the Western Slopes, gives rise to some of the richest expressions of Shiraz from the Barossa.

 Soil: Heavy brown earth, red clay and crackled ironstone

 Altitude: 290m

To ensure the unique character of this sub region is exemplified in the wine, small open fermenters and our basket press were employed to gently extract the wine.

Aging in the finest quality oak and selection of the truest barrels has created a wine that respects and expresses its place of origin.

96 Points and #1 Barossa Shiraz 2016
Review by: Huon Hooke
Very deep purple/red colour with a dense, concentrated bouquet dominated by charred oak and rich ripe fruit. It's dominated by licorice and fruitcake on the palate. A very rich, super-ripe but also fresh and bright, full-bodied wine with masses of flavour and richness in a thoroughly opulent style. A most impressive wine! (From rich, red-brown clays at 300 metres altitude on the Barossa's Western Ridge). Drink 2020-2038 Equal #1 Barossa 2016 Shiraz (25 September 2018)
