Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaAs the name suggestes, The Barossan is to summarize Peter Lehmann's view of the Barossa Valley, with fruit drawn from numerous vineyards across the valley floor. Post stainless ferment, this aged 15 months in American oak (25% new). The power and intent of this massive wine is achieved, and felt, with gobs of sweet, plummy fruit lashed with chocolate and vanilla, and padded with cushy, sueded tannins, trailing off with baking spices and a swell of warmth. Thankfully, this is now settled a bit with time, and at a prime place for drinking now, with juicy steak.Tasted: 16 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThis is sourced from vineyards across the different sub-regions of the Barossa Valley to produce, in their words, THE Barossan. I liked the previous vintage, and the 2018 is even better. There's more definition to the fruit, combining ripe blackberry and blueberry that's complemented by white pepper and sweet spices. The oak seems dialled down this vintage, or at least more fully integrated. Medium-full bodied, it’s quite soft and silky, with enough acidity to make it all work. There's a lot to like here, in a classic Barossa shiraz at a steal of a price. Perfect served lightly chilled and poured alongside BBQ. Recommended.Tasted: 08 June 2021Tasted by: Prices:
