✨ Technical Specifications
The Chateau Single Vineyard Shiraz represents Chateau Tanunda's dedication to showcasing the diverse microclimates and distinct terroirs of the Barossa Valley. Sourced from select single vineyard sites, this wine highlights the unique soil profiles and meso-climates of celebrated sub-regions such as Greenock, Gomersal, or Bethany. Historically, the Barossa's complex geology, ranging from red clay over limestone to deep sandy loams, has allowed Shiraz to express vastly different flavor profiles within just a few miles. Chateau Tanunda utilizes traditional basket pressing and open fermenters to gently extract rich color and structured tannins, followed by aging in a combination of French and American oak hogsheads. This results in a classic Barossa Shiraz of immense depth, characterized by dark plum, blackberry, and subtle baking spice notes, underpinned by a seamless, velvety texture.
