BAROSSA VALLEY SA, RED WINES
Arguably Australia’s most famous wine region, the Barossa Valley hardly needs an introduction. Its reputation has been proven time and time again, and its wines have been celebrated on the world stage for decades, for very good reason. As South Aussies here at winedirect.com.au, we’re big fans of this local wine-producing superstar!
Located in South Australia, an hour or so northeast of Adelaide, the Barossa Valley was founded by German settlers, who took advantage of the warm climate of the region to produce fortified wine, which was popular in Australia at the time. The focus of the region shifted in the mid-20th century when there was a growing demand for premium, non-fortified wines, which are what the region is still known for today.

- Turkey Flat Butchers Block Red 2021$27.00A beautifully soft, savoury and complex red. A medium-bodied palate with red and black fruits. Layers of spice, dark plum and blackberries with plenty of fine tannins and a slightly rustic edge from the very high quality Mataro used here to finish the blend off. A lovely ‘welcome home’ glass which goes very nicely with dinner too. Learn More
- Turkey Flat Butchers Block Shiraz 2022$27.00What a stunning ‘lighter and brighter’ Shiraz from Turkey Flat. A neat counterpoint to their Estate Shiraz, it packs a powerful punch of fruit yet is lighter on its feet than it’s more expensive counterpart. Some whole bunch is used here and the oak used is all older – both factors in allowing the fruit to really shine. Red and blue fruits, white pepper, bright and crunchy goodness. Delicious Barossa joy in a glass. Learn More
- Stonehouse Neldner Vineyard Barossa Valley Icon Shiraz 2023$150.00Every vintage thus far has been compared favourably to Penfolds Grange and no doubt the '23 will enjoy the same accolades. Handpicked grapes from an 80 year old contoured vineyard in Gomersal; long, slow fermentation including more than 10% whole bunch fruit before basket pressing into 30% new oak inc. both French and American. A stunningly perfumed nose leads to a palate with exceptional structure and richness. Blue fruits, black fruits, coffee, cherries, red plum, dark chocolate, spice and fine, powdery tannins to finish. A pinnacle Barossa Shiraz experience. Learn More

- Sieger Estate Frederick Block 777 Old Vine Barossa Shiraz 2017Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $50.00A powerhouse old vine Barossa Shiraz, which was given an 18 month sleep in A-grade French oak.

- Schwarz Meta Mataro 2022Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00Handpicked, 17% whole bunch, unfined, unfiltered, unfettered. Exotic spice and blueberry on the nose; same on the palate, plus earthiness, roasting meats, florals, plums and more. Not the typical mono-dimensional or too-ripe presentation here.

- Schwarz Meta Shiraz 2022Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00A top-end Shiraz from the Barossa and Eden Valleys. You can see the Eden influence in the exotic spice and finely honed olive tapenade dancing around, without dominating the delicious raspberry, florals, chocolate, cherries and mulberries that mark this a complex wine. Only 92 from Halliday, perhaps because they tasted it six months ago? Learn More
- Schwarz Meta Grenache 2022Special Price $35.00 Regular Price $40.00Bright, airy, crunchy and fragrant. A hands-off approach has been taken in the making of this wine, with 80 whole bunch ferment bottled unfined, unfiltered and unashamedly slurpable. There are dark plums, red cherries, raspberry, liquorice, herbs, florals and dried citrus all happening here. Lovely Learn More
- Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz 2021$250.00The 2021 Yaldara Grand is a straight Shiraz, owing to the concentration and profundity of the Shiraz fruit from this vintage. Unsurprisingly, this offers more power and concentration than any previous vintage. A massive, deep and complex expression of the best bits of the Barossa Valley. Dark chocolate, liquorice, tobacco leaf, blue and black fruits, cedar, cassis, plums, cherries, spice and plenty of cedary oak and tannins. Incredible. Learn More
- Lienert Vineyards Sieben Klon Grenache 2022Special Price $30.00 Regular Price $50.00The Lienert’s have been farming in the Barossa for 150 years and decided to add some vines to their property about 20 years ago. The first fruit from 2004 and 2005 vintages went straight to the pool room, aka into Penfold’s St Henri. Funnily enough they then planted a lot more vines and introduced many more clonal variations of Shiraz and Grenache. This Grenache is a brilliant amalgam of aromatics and pristine fruit, thanks to the careful clonal selection and extensive blending trials undertaken before settling on the final ‘just right blend’. Whilst called Sieben Klon (Seven Clones) the Grenache actually includes 8 separate clones. This vintage is a little lighter, yet more aromatically lifted than the 21 vintage. It’s a cracker.
