More information on wine critics and ratings

Vineyard: Grant Burges Filsell vineyard with near century old vines is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley. Planted in 1920, this vineyard also produces some of the fruit for Grant Burge Wines, flagship Shiraz, the highly acclaimed Meshach.

Vinification: Different batches of fruit were crushed and fermented separately. Primary fermentation on skins occurred for approximately eight days, with a couple of small batches undergoing natural yeast fermentation in small open fermenters for a further week. The wine was pumped over three times a day and the skins were pressed gently before being transferred to oak to finish fermentation. The wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 21 months.

Appearance: Deep purple red to the core

Bouquet: The nose displays aromas of blueberry, plum, dark chocolate, mocha and vanilla.

Palate: The sensual, full bodied palate offers rich flavours of dark chocolate, coffee and vanilla. The tannins provide excellent balance and structure to the richness of the palate.

Cellaring: 20+ years

James Halliday (JH) : 95 Points (2013)
Good depth and hue to the colour; a powerful full-bodied shiraz with blackberry, soused plum, licorice and a savoury bitter chocolate slice stolen from McLaren Vale. Its depth and balance are augmented by firm, although ripe, tannins.

Robert Parker (RP) : 91 Points (2012)
Deep garnet with a purple rim, the 2012 Shiraz Filsell reveals expressive blackberry compote, warm blackcurrant and blueberry pie notes with nuances of baking spices, potpourri and vanilla. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has lovely balance and expression with plenty of spice and black fruit flavors supported by chewy tannins and finishing with pleasant freshness.
