✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced across multiple South Australian vineyards to maintain consistency and balance, this cuvée emphasizes ripe, fruit-forward varietal expression. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with regular pump-overs to extract rich color and soft tannins without excessive astringency. Maturation incorporates seasoned French and American oak regimes to frame the juicy dark berry core with subtle baking spice and toasted wood notes, creating an approachable profile crafted for immediate consumption.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1988 by fifth-generation vigneron Grant Burge and his wife Helen, Grant Burge Wines represents one of the modern cornerstones of the Barossa Valley viticultural landscape. The estate builds upon deep familial roots tracing back to Meshach Burge's earliest winemaking endeavors in 1865. Sourcing fruit predominantly from the southern reaches of the Barossa floor as well as higher-elevation sites in Eden Valley, the viticultural footprint spans ancient red-brown earths, sand, and clay loams under a warm Mediterranean climate tempered by cool gully breezes. Guided since 1993 by chief winemaker Craig Stansborough, the house philosophy balances regional richness and fruit generosity with contemporary structural polish. Benchmark bottlings include the flagship Meshach Shiraz—sourced from venerable old vines planted as far back as 1920—alongside the centenary-vine Filsell Shiraz, The Holy Trinity Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre, and Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon, all exemplifying the concentration, savory complexity, and longevity of classic South Australian terroir.
