Double Barrel Shiraz has a full and generous palate with a beguiling mix of sweet red fruits and dark chocolate indicative of its origins as Barossa Shiraz. Subtle toasty vanillin derives from aging in traditional French and American oak wine barrels. The careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing has added complex nuances of almond-husks and also softened the dense tannins to yield an incredible smoothness.

Nitschke Block Shiraz displays rich, opulent fruit with a fantastic balance of texture. Lifted notes of greengage plums are first to emerge from what is a tightly-wound wine. There is also a warming spice element of subtle white pepper as well as some dark cherry and plum flavours.

The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the Barossa can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated from England to the Barossa to farm and plant vineyards. His grandson Percival Burge (Grants grandfather), established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the Burge winemaking tradition. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking tradition into the 21st century, combining the finest vineyards with modern winemaking techniques to express the classic Barossa. Grant has crafted this dense, vibrant red Barossa Shiraz to deliver aromas of concentrated plum cherries. The palate is soft, fleshy and full of ripe berry flavours coupled with sweet vanilla oak

Dense chocolate and blackberry aromas are a feauture of this beautiful wine.

Krondorf is a name synonymous with the Barossa Valley with a long and prestigious history.
