Schwarz Meta Shiraz 2022

Jason Schwarz has wine in his DNA; a fifth generation Barossan, he was raised on his parents' vineyard and studied wine marketing before discovering winemaking was his calling. He completed vintages in Bordeaux, Burgundy, The Rhone, Stellenbosch and the Napa Valley before returning to work in a number of different Barossa wineries. He has no formal winemaking training, yet has a rare affinity for growing and sourcing spectacular fruit from vines up to 130 years old, which he picks at optimum ripeness to allow the fruit to shine once bottled. He was one of the very first Barossa producers to pick earlier than the norm. He makes bloody good wines. Little surprise his winery is rated five red stars by Halliday, and that he's one of the select few included as part of the Artisans of the Barossa.
