✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Terroirs of the Barossa' collection by Chateau Tanunda is a dedicated exploration of the unique microclimates and soil profiles that define the Barossa Valley's most prestigious sub-regions. Sourced from the northernmost reaches of the valley, the Ebenezer District Shiraz showcases a landscape defined by ancient, iron-rich red soils and deep clay. This unique terroir, combined with low rainfall and warm days tempered by cool night breezes, yields small, highly concentrated berries. Chateau Tanunda employs traditional winemaking techniques, including fermentation in open fermenters and basket pressing, followed by aging in premium French oak. The resulting wine is a powerful, deeply colored Shiraz, celebrated for its intense aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate, and black pepper, supported by robust, velvety tannins that reflect the rugged elegance of the Ebenezer district.
