Goat Square Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022

Karrawirra Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021

PB. Burgoyne Padthaway Shiraz 2021
$11.40The Barossa reds from 2021 are so good that a vintage rating of 10/10 is appropriate. Ideal weather of course covers a large area and reports and tastings of wines from the Limestone Coast-Great South East of S.A. also confirm a great vintage.

Barbarossa Barossa Valley Shiraz Cabernet Durif Mataro 2021
$15.80This is the last Barossa red from 2021 of which we have reasonable stocks. Barbarossa was created as a customer guessing game. The idea being to make a small bottling with three or four varieties, different vintages that have customers thinking about what is in the glass. Alas a mistake was made when labelling as it reveals the mix and vintage. A disaster to a triumph as my views of the greatness of the vintage grows and grows. Best that the vintage can be seen by all.

Take the free run juice, ferment and bottle and when this is done correctly you will have in your hand a most appealing drink.

Terrene Estates Barossa Valley Shiraz Mataro Grenache M.V.

Mount Eagle Eden Valley Riesling 2022
$13.30‘You Australians don’t get Riesling’ I was once told by a New Zealand expert.

Naturally the Clare taste is different to the fragrant aromas and softness of those from New Zealand.
