Epic Negociants The Apollonian Shiraz
Chateau Yaldara 1847 Eden Valley Shiraz
Soul Growers 'Esperanza' Shiraz
Equal parts powerful and elegant, this is outstanding shiraz. You can always rely on Soul Growers to deliver quality over and above- and the Esperanza shiraz does that tenfold. Each drop of wine can be traced back to the ground it came from- literally. Working with some of the valley's best growers year on year on year (for decades) consistency and quality is at the heart of this winery. A symphony of violets and plums, with gentle hums of baking spice and anise complimenting this generously fruited drop.
St Hallet Sacred Ground Shiraz
Moody, dark, swirling black fruits sit right at the core of this quintessentially Barossan beast. A smattering of red and blue fruits provide freshness and a little lift to what is otherwise very serious business. There is no mistaking a St Hallet classic - when it comes to shiraz, and when it comes to Barossa, they don't muck about. The Sacred Ground is an old favourite among the 'big and bold' faithful, and this iteration is no departure from that well earned reputation. Rich, ripe, chocolate, earthy and opulent. Little hints of cedar and tobacco sit deftly around determined, full throttle fruit density. St Hallet at their best - unashamedly broad and imposing while remaining stylish, complex, and relinquishing no ground when it comes to sophistication.
