Tasting Notes

AROMA

Density is evident from the first whiff; a dark, brooding core of blackberry fruit with a touch of anise-like spice.

PALATE

On the palate, cool and poised yet generous and mouth-filling; a mash of wild blackberry, salted plum and blueberry fruits which provides a touch of mid palate sweetness and refreshing minerality. The finish is fresh and precise, with vibrant acidity, clovey spice and finely etched graphite like tannins.

FOOD MATCHING

As a stand alone, Barossa Shiraz is full bodied and pairs well with rich eats. Think garlic and herb crusted lamb rack with duck fat potatoes. Drink now.

VINIFICATION

Our 2023 Bruno Shiraz is sourced from a number of old-vine vineyards from long-standing growers across the Barossa. Picked and sorted prior to destemming, fruit then spent 5 days cold soaking in order to extract colour and delicate aromas. A cool fermentation followed in open top fermenters with a small amount of whole bunches. Hand plunging followed. The wine was then pressed to large format 2nd and third use oak. Filtered and bottling followed. The final alcohol is 13.5%.
