*because if Barossa Shiraz is good and Barossa Cabernet is good….then blending them makes it Super!

A 50/50 split of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz from the Rohrlach Dorrien vineyard. 18 months in French oak hogsheads.  Winemakers are the usual suspects Daniel Chaffey Hartwig, Theo Engela and Huon Fechner.

Chaffey Bros Wine Co., SUPERBAROSSA, Cabernet, Shiraz. Barossa, 2021

Opaque purple with an ermine rim. Fleshy nose: Choc mint, turned earth, blackcurrant (and blackberry on the pull-away), a hint of cooling mint with camphor, licorice, blood plum, graphite and a little sweet oak. Sapid and initially flowing with generosity before a neat hall runner of velvety tannins. There’s a fine tartness that ensures balance to the flesh. Enjoyable drinking now.
