About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaChris Ringland's Barossa Ranges Shiraz is steeped in the Barossa’s post-colonial story and the high art and science of winemaking. Typically deep in colour with intense dark berry, paneforte, espresso roasted chestnut aromas, it displays a plush and concentrated palate with blackberry, mocha, paneforte spicy flavours and dense fine chocolaty tannins. Despite the opulence, flamboyance, richness and concentration, the wine has superb percussion and freshness. The wine is a small vinification of around four to five hogsheads or 1500 litres. The "unusually thick skinned" Shiraz is entirely sourced from Chris Ringland's dry-grown vineyard on the edge of the Barossa Valley, but technically in Eden Valley, along Flaxman's Valley near Randall's Hill.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Medium-deep crimson. Beautiful pure blackberry pastille, dark chocolate, vanilla, hint marzipan aromas with touches of wax polish, liquorice. Generously concentrated wine with pure blackberry, dark chocolate flavours, superbly balanced marzipan, vanilla, malt notes and fine chocolaty, touch ferruginous textures. Liquorice notes at the finish. The oak melts into the fruit and the fruit folds into the tannins. Despite a whopping 17.2% alc the wine is balanced, buoyant and alive. Not Port- like at all. This is an exceptional vintage for Chris Ringland. Decant some hours in advance as it really does open up into something special.
