What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Reviews

Jancis
Robinson

Rating: 16/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Muted, tarry nose. Very thick and more reminiscent of a road surface in hot weather than of fruit. Tough tannins. No shortaqge of character but I don't honestly think this is ready. Dry finish.

The soils of the Barossa and its climate are ideal for producing full-flavoured, rich-fruited Shiraz wines capable of great longevity. Barossa Shiraz has become a unique Australian style... rich, full bodied with intense, concentrated fruit flavours. The 2002 vintage is vying with the famous 1998 vintage as the greatest vintage of the last decade. It is certainly the best vintage of this century! Red wines from the 2002 vintage are proudly confident, stylish, concentrated and deep in colour.
