Grant BurgeMeshach Shiraz 1996
About this product
The Burge Family winemaking tradition was started by Meshach Burge's father, John back in 1855. Aged 11, Meshach came to the Barossa from 'Hillcot' in Wiltshire, England with his family, establishing a thriving viticultural wheat and sheep property near Lyndoch. In the late 1860s, under his father's watchful eye, Meshach began winemaking. The 2003 Meshach Shiraz is a typically full-bodied wine with moutfulls of complexity. Close to a decade in bottle, the big, overt primary fruit is just beginning to take a backward step allowing the full flavour spectrum to really hit the palate.

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.
