The Everest Shiraz 2019
Tasting Notes

An intense, enticing nose of rich, red berry fruits and subtle French oak. The wine is incredibly dense and focused with a richness and purity that simply exudes top class Barossa Shiraz. Rich dark chocolate, mocha and cedar spice are all to the fore but the central core is highly focused

 

Winemaking

Only the very best grapes are selected from individual vineyard blocks in exceptional vintages. Hand-picked, hand-sorted to 1 ton open fermenters with four times daily plunging and careful basket pressing. The highest quality parcels from this years fermented wines are set aside for 18 months maturation in the finest French oak. Once bottled the wine spends a further 24 months maturing in our cellars before release.  

A barrel selection is made of only the finest wines to produce the pinnacle of that vintage – The Everest.

Both at 100+ years of age
SOIL TYPE Stonewell – Ferrous clay limestone outcrops
Vine Vale – Deep sandy loam soils

VINEYARDS: Nuriootpa, Stonewell

Deep, rich red with a good rim of purple and a gumleaf/mint and angelica accent to the blackberry jam aromas, while the palate is big and rich, superripe and rounded, with abundant fruit sweetness, alcohol and glycerol. The tannins are ample and powdery [...] A big, raunchy red that many will delight in. 2023-2035

The flagship shiraz from Château Tanunda; aged 18 months in French oak. Deep crimson in colour with unctuous blackberry, black cherry and plum fruits cut with hints of baking spices, panforte, dark chocolate, vanillin oak, blackberry jam, clove, cedar and charcuterie. Full bodied and structured with chocolatey tannins, a vivid acid cadence and layers of elegant black fruits finishing long with a savoury, graceful air.
