Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

GRAND BAROSSA Riesling is subtle yellow in color, displaying delicate lifted aromas of lime blossom and citrus fruits. Lemon, lime and hints of passion fruit are in abundance. The palate is focused, pure and linear with a delicious juicy finish. Elegant and intense with a touch of minerality and refreshing acidity.

Professional Ratings

    Light and tart, with a bright beam of creamy pear and lemon blossom aromas and flavors pointing through to a lingering finish. Drink now through 2018.
  • 88
    Chateau Tanunda's 2009 Grand Barossa Riesling displays a pronounced perfume of jasmine, lemon grass and fresh lime juice with hints of crushed stones and hay. Dry, crisp and light to medium-bodied, it has a good concentration of citrus flavors and a long chalky finish. Drink it now to 2014.

Chateau Tanunda, Australia
Chateau Tanunda Chateau Tanunda Winery Video

Château Tanunda, the birthplace of the Barossa, is one of Australia’s most historically significant wineries. Established in 1890, it celebrates over 130 years of fine winemaking! The Château is privately owned by the Geber family, who have put their heart, soul and passion into handcrafting some of the Barossa’s most collectable wines, with a focus on unique Old Vine Expressions of 50, 100 and 150 Year Old vines and its most famous wine Grand Barossa Shiraz.

Wines are handcrafted by combining traditional methods and modern technology. Limited release wines are hand-picked, basket-pressed and bottled unfiltered. The team at Château Tanunda believe in minimal intervention to allow the true character of the grapes to express themselves.

Barrel ageing and master blending is our skill and art form. The vineyards are the soul; the basket-press winery is the heart; the wines are Château Tanunda’s passion with everything finely tuned to produce delicious, distinctive and elegant wines.

Riesling possesses a remarkable ability to reflect the character of wherever it is grown while still maintaining its identity. A regal variety of incredible purity and precision, this versatile grape can be just as enjoyable dry or sweet, young or old, still or sparkling and can age longer than nearly any other white variety. Somm Secret—Given how difficult it is to discern the level of sweetness in a Riesling from the label, here are some clues to find the dry ones. First, look for the world “trocken.” (“Halbtrocken” or “feinherb” mean off-dry.) Also a higher abv usually indicates a drier Riesling.

Barossa Valley Wine

Barossa, Australia

View all products

Historically and presently the most important wine-producing region of Australia, the Barossa Valley is set in the Barossa zone of South Australia, where more than half of the country’s wine is made. Because the climate is very hot and dry, vineyard managers work diligently to ensure grapes reach the perfect levels of phenolic ripeness.

The intense heat is ideal for plush, bold reds, particularly Shiraz on its own or Rhône Blends. Often Shiraz and Cabernet partner up for plump and powerful reds.

While much less prevalent, light-skinned varieties such as Riesling, Viognier or Semillon produce vibrant Barossa Valley whites.

Most of Australia’s largest wine producers are based here and Shiraz plantings date back as far as the 1850s or before. Many of them are dry farmed and bush trained, still offering less than one ton per acre of inky, intense, purple juice.
