The 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.
1847 wines and Chateau Yaldara are the same beast. The reference to 1847 in the full winery branding (1847/ Yaldara Wines) is a tad confusing perhaps, referring to the year the governor granted the land on which the property resides. It is also the same year in which Johann Gramp first planted vines in the Barossa. Yaldara estate itself was founded a hundred years later, when Hermann Thumm began making Barossa wines. The word Yaldara comes from a local indigenous word meaning sparkling.

A good burger doesn’t simply just require beer – especially one of this caliber!! For me, I am ALL about a good shiraz with my burger. Something bold, beautiful, and powerful (but not to the point where I can only drink 1/2 the bottle).
