The Wine Single Vineyard Barossa Shiraz 2021 exemplifies a stellar vintage, receiving high acclaim, notably from renowned critic James Halliday for its exceptional quality relative to previous years. This Shiraz presents a deep, ruby hue with vibrant reflections. On the nose, it offers an intoxicating blend of ripe blackberry, plush plum, and a hint of peppery spice, underpinned by well-integrated, luxuriously toasted oak that promises complexity and longevity. The palate is robust and richly layered, featuring dense berry flavours elegantly framed by silky tannins and a subtle smokiness that leads to a long, satisfying finish. Its careful oaking has not only enhanced its structure but ensures that this wine will mature gracefully, developing greater depth and nuance over the years.
The 2021 vintage of The Wine Single Vineyard Barossa Shiraz is crafted from meticulously selected grapes sourced from a premier single vineyard in the heart of the renowned Barossa Valley. This vintage benefited from an exceptional growing season, which is reflected in the quality of the fruit. The winemaking process began with picking the grapes at optimal ripeness to preserve their vibrant varietal characteristics. Fermentation took place in stainless steel vats to maintain the purity of the fruit flavours, followed by an extended maceration period to enhance the wine’s structural tannins and colour extraction. The wine was then aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 18 months, a technique that imparted a well-balanced integration of oak, giving the wine its signature toasty and smoky nuances while retaining the fruit's boldness. This meticulous oaking regimen not only enriched the flavour profile but also equipped the Shiraz with the potential to age gracefully, making it an excellent candidate for long-term cellaring.
