Winemaker Notes

#33 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2011

Grand Barossa Shiraz epitomises the premium international reputation for Shiraz which has made the Barossa Valley famous. Lifted aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper are accompanied by spicy, dark berry fruits on the palate. The finish is long with fine-grained tannins from eighteen months maturation in a combination of new and older American and French oak hogsheads.

    Dense and juicy, opening out to a lively texture under the cherry, fruitcake and spice flavors. Offers ripeness and intensity, without a lot of weight. Drink now through 2018.

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.

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

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.
