Fruit comes from a ‘myriad’ of Barossa subregions.18 Months French and American Oak. Little gold stickers have changed a little. 18 months in French and American oak barrels. Winemaker is Jeremy Ottawa.

Château Tanunda, Grand Barossa, Shiraz, Barossa, 2022

Pink chalk, pink peppercorn, just ripe blood plum, prosciutto meatiness, blackberry, licorice twist and a hint of caramel oak sweetness. Offers plenty of vibrant, dark black fruit with savoury shadows of spice and some asphalt. Tannins are a little chewy and stalky, but don’t get in the road of the blended flesh. Thoroughly enjoyable.
