Fraser Mackenzie, Artisans of Barossa Group General Manager, invites all travellers and fine wine enthusiasts in the area:

"Barossa Shiraz epitomizes the essence of high-quality winemaking. This remarkable varietal is distinguished by its robust and complex flavour profile, a direct result of the Barossa Valley's unique terroir. The warm climate and diverse soils of the region impart deep, dark fruit flavours—think blackberry and plum—augmented by layers of spice, chocolate, and hints of leather and earth, as well as the brown spices shelf in your pantry—clove, anise and mace." 

What truly sets Barossa Shiraz apart is the legacy of its old vines. These venerable plants, some dating back to the mid-19th century, produce grapes of exceptional intensity and concentration, lending the wines a full-bodied and robust character. The careful vinification process, often involving extended oak aging, further refines these wines, adding complexity and enhancing their aging potential. This meticulous craftsmanship results in wines that capture the Barossa's spirit and promise longevity and depth, making them a prized selection for connoisseurs and collectors alike.

Don't miss this chance to celebrate one of Barossa's most iconic varietals and indulge in the region's finest Shiraz. Secure your spot for this unforgettable experience and raise a glass to the legacy and future of Barossa Shiraz.
