About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazBarossa Valley, AustraliaThe 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. Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz is one of their finest creations. Perfect blend of lush, red forest fruits and smooth, silky tannins.

Deep red purple, more purple here. Relatively shy nose, smooth and savoury, more of the savoury barrel-affected character of 04. Sweet rich opulent fruit and flavour, not as deep or dense as 04 but pretty smart wine. Balanced, smooth tannins and alcohol almost under control. Very rich and chocolate/mocha vanillan and fleshy. Lots of extract again, not as much as 04, but high. Good wine, very savoury, not much primary fruit shows. OK length, worth cellaring. Slightly hot aftertaste.
