✨ Technical Specifications
The Barossa Tower Shiraz pays homage to the iconic, soaring bluestone tower of Chateau Tanunda, a landmark that has dominated the Barossa Valley landscape since 1890. This wine is crafted to capture the classic, generous spirit of Barossa Shiraz in an approachable, fruit-forward style. Sourced from premium vineyards across the valley floor, the grapes benefit from the region's warm days and cool nights, developing rich, concentrated flavors. Traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in open fermenters and careful maturation in a combination of French and American oak, preserve the vibrant blackberry, plum, and subtle spice characters that define this historic region's signature varietal.
