Tasting Notes

Whistler The Reserve Shiraz 2005 is a commanding expression of old-vine Barossa Valley Shiraz from Whistler Wines, a third-generation family estate with roots in the region stretching back to the 1800s.

Rich, full-bodied and beautifully polished, this distinguished Australian red layers ripe blackberry and plum with dark chocolate, peppery spice and velvety tannins. Traditional winemaking and premium Barossa fruit create impressive depth, balance and regional character, while the 2005 vintage contributes an elegant mature quality.

The Barossa Valley is renowned for producing powerful, richly flavoured Shiraz, and this Reserve bottling captures that distinctive style with finesse. Its generous fruit, savoury spice and smooth structure make it an excellent match for grilled steak, slow-cooked lamb, roasted meats and other hearty dishes.

Sourced from a premium private cellar, this collectible Barossa Shiraz is a superb choice for a special dinner, celebratory occasion or considered addition to a fine wine collection.

Critic Scores

Even though the vines were only planted in 1994, this is top-shelf stuff, dry grown, concentrated and intense. Bits of mint and licorice give dimension to the ripe blackberry and blueberry flavors, the mouthfeel is full and creamy and the finish turns dry and firm, showing solid structure. Approachable now, but probably best from 2010 to 2020.

About this Wine

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.
