Tasting Notes

A full-bodied, richly expressive Shiraz that captures the unmistakable character of iconic Barossa Valley Shiraz. The nose is dense and aromatic, with liquorice, fresh-cut fennel, allspice and caraway lifted by delicate floral notes. The palate is generous and layered, combining blueberry, blackberry and damson plum with red cherry, liquorice and milk chocolate. Silky, velvety tannins carry the richness beautifully, leaving a lingering finish that showcases both power and finesse.

Critic Scores

The famous Filsell Shiraz from their Barossa Valley vineyard with vines planted over a century ago, is still cracking value and always a delicious drink. There is a richness and generosity immediately apparent with this wine, which shows impeccable extraction. The colour is inky dark in the centre with a dark purple rim. We have notes of plums, black fruits, soy, mulberries, coffee grinds, cassis and chocolate, though some red fruits, raspberries and cherries, drift in and out. A supple texture here and juicy acidity, this is finely crafted with the oak deftly handled, giving the wine a flick of a vanillin note. Firm tannins sit comfortably towards the end of a very long finish. This will easily handle a decade, even two, in the cellar, and likely continue to improve over that time.

Welcoming from the outset, with a faintly smoky, charry sense to the nose, a suggestion of crumbled earth and forest floor as an understorey. Then comes the fruit – a fresh crush of purple plum, vibrant flavours, a reverb of that initial blacksmithy char, and an intricate weave of fine yet sticky tannins with a lip-smacking finish. Its depth with a confident vitality gives this a special sensibility and a formidable future.

About this Wine

Shiraz

Bold and full-bodied, Shiraz delivers rich dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle smoke. Firm tannins and a velvety texture give it real structure, often rounded out by notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. A versatile pairing partner for grilled meats and hearty dishes, it's one of Australia's most planted red varieties

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
