Winemaker Notes

100% Shiraz from The Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale.

The wine is a lively, dense, ruby red color. It has intensely perfumed fruit characters and is brambly with ripe black cherry. There are slight hints of cinnamon spiciness and light mocha. The juicy, fleshy palate finishes with ripe tannins.

The winemakers, Chris Ringland, Lisa Wetherall and Baz Hercock wanted to convey the expression of Shiraz from different soil types. With Boarding Pass they crafted a Shiraz that portrays the aromatic profile of Shiraz fruit expression that comes from sandier soils. This Shiraz combines power and fruit weight with heightened aromatic complexity.

Though Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley of France, Australia is home to the oldest Syrah (called Shiraz here) vines on the planet. Found in Australia’s Barossa Valley, where phylloxera has never threated viticulture, these ancient vines are between 140 to 175 years old!

Having brought fame and merit to the country’s wine scene since the early 1950s, namely via the debut of Penfolds Grange, today Syrah (Shiraz) claims rank as the most widely planted grape in Australia. In fact, the amount of land dedicated to Shiraz in Australia is now almost equivalent to what it is in France. Australian Shiraz has its own personality with flavors and aromas of intense blackberry, fruitcake, menthol, tobacco leaf and umami. Conveniently one can find great Australian Shiraz at a variety of price points but the very best will be dense, gloriously complex and capable of long aging.
