✨ Technical Specifications
The Mattiske Road Single Vineyard Shiraz is a profound expression of the Barossa Valley's unique terroir, sourced from a prized single vineyard site along Mattiske Road in the northern reaches of the valley. This sub-region is celebrated for its ancient, red-brown earth soils layered over limestone, which naturally restrict vine vigor and yield small, highly concentrated berries. Chateau Tanunda utilizes traditional winemaking methods to craft this wine, including fermentation in open fermenters and gentle basket pressing, followed by aging in premium oak barrels. This meticulous approach coaxes out the vineyard's signature profile of intense blackberry, dark plum, and cracked black pepper, framed by muscular yet velvety tannins that pay homage to the Barossa's legendary winemaking heritage.
