Winemaker Notes
As the flagship of Tatachilla, Foundation Shiraz represents a commitment to excellence in both viticulture and winemaking. Fruit was individually selected from small vineyards in McLaren Vale, vinified, then aged in American and French oak for 18 months. Meticulous barrel selection was carried out to create a wine of great depth and richness. A bouquet of plum and spicy ripe shiraz enhances the robust fruit flavour with fine tannins and great length.
Tatachilla Winery has grown from a background as rich and diverse as any in the history of winemaking in Australia. While the Tatachilla of today was launched in 1995, the origins of the winery and the name go back as far as the early 1900's. Tatachilla's unique blend of grape growing regions, techniques, people, cultures and history helps create a range of red, white and sparkling wines that are as distinctive as they are enjoyable. Tatachilla is a wine ready to be enjoyed with good food and good company right now. However those who would cellar it for several more years will be rewarded for their patience.
