About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaTurkey Flat Shiraz is produced from fruit that is grown in possibly the oldest Shiraz vineyard in the world! While Peter Schulz's Shiraz is always one of bold concentration and power, with a bit of bottle age just like this 2007, the Turkey Flat starts to mellow out magnificently and start to show those wonderful secondary characters of cedar, briar and all-spice. Scoring an impressive 95 points from James Halliday, this is a matured Turkey Flat for the ages.

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.

Deep colour with pronounced purple tinges. There's a trace of flyspray on the nose, atop blood plums and black cherries. The palate is firm and tight and not really showing much complexity yet. It's a trifle lean. Tannins are tight, firm and balanced.
