The classic Australian blend of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon has been enjoyed since the 1940s, combining two varieties that thrive in our warm climate. Nowhere do they show greater depth and ripeness than in the Barossa Valley, where the intensity of flavour created by full grape maturity sets these wines apart from cooler regions. It remains one of the great and enduring styles of Australian red wine.

Old Moppa Road Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022
$14.50$10.88The Barossa Valley is a remarkable wine region to visit. To move from admiring the landscape in the manner of the occasional visitor to having a profound knowledge of the how the landscape evolved (geomorphology) has given me much satisfaction.
I know Old Moppa Road very well. It runs along the western edge of the northern Barossa Valley a location with many old vine vineyards. Alas for this vintage we could not buy grapes from the location we wanted along Old Moppa so moved further north to secure supply.
This vintage was a true Barossa vintage without prolonged hot spells nor unsettling cooler periods. So out of 50 vintages the 2022 would be like about 25 of them. You want to sit with the average not the extremes. Looks good in the glass as I write this note but am wary about long term cellaring.
The wine is rich and deep but all vintages make me cautious as the unexpected can appear as they age, so 10 plus years is not recommended – unless you are happy.

Durif from the Riverine town of Griffith is exceptional and with our experience with Rutherglen Durif we knew it would blend well with Barossa Shiraz. The ABV is 15%. Shiraz with Durif is a Wonder.
