Tasting Note
An intensely dark and opulent wine, from the heart of the Margaret River. Concentrated aromas of plum and cassis, with vegetal dried hebs, black olives and tobacco lead on to a sumptuous palate of bold berries and more plums culminating in a long finish with tantilising aniseed, vanilla and some smooth mocha.
Producer
The Grant Burge winemaking team is led by Chief Winemaker, Craig Stansborough who believes attention to detail is of upmost importance when crafting beautiful Barossa wines. However, the team is blessed with fantastic fruit that requires polishing and shaping, rather than heavy-handed manipulation in the winery.
Grant Burge Wines craft big and bold reds for the drinkers who love this style. With the combination of the best terroirs, the best climate and the best winemaking techniques, the natural result is the best wine.
Winemaking
The Barossa is famous around the world for its premium wines with Grant Burge being one of the most recognised brands from this region. The diversity of the terroir and the region's altitudes, combined with its Mediterranean climate, provide the perfect environment to make a range of ultra-premium wines.
Margaret River can be considered a newcomer to winemaking in the Barossa since the first vines were planted in 1967. While the styles of the wines here typical of Barossa, with plenty of rich powerful flavours, they have an elegant profile due to the vineyards’ close proximity to the ocean and its cooling influence.
Fun Fact
The area was named Barossa Valley in 1837 by the Colonel William Light, one of South Australia’s first surveyors who eventually became Governor of South Australia. Barossa was honouring the memory of the Battle of Barrosa, a Spanish battleground where the British reached victory over the French. However, the name was incorrectly registered as ‘Barossa’ as they misread the lettering.
Food pairing
A full flavoured elegant wine which can match a variety of red meat and game dishes. It works well with marinated and grilled red meats and poultry.
