Winemaker Notes
A striking feature of the wine is its stylish palate structure: rich and long flavored, showing pronounced varietal Shiraz fruit perfectly married to delicate, subtle background oak. The finish is long and flavorsome with just the right amount of tannin to balance the fruit, keep the palate focused yet complex, and to give the wine backbone. Blend: 90% Shiraz, 6% Grenache, 4% Mourvedre

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Burge Family’s flagship cuvee, the 2004 Shiraz Draycott, is a blend of 90% Shiraz, 6% Grenache, and 4% Mourvedre from 45-year-old vines. Aged in French oak (35% new), it exhibits a dense purple color as well as a primary nose of black raspberries, blueberries, licorice, and smoke. Dense, full-bodied, and powerful, it offers significant size, substance, and richness, but comes across with remarkable finesse and elegance.

Winemaker Rick Burge is a brilliant artisan who does nearly everything by hand. Five years ago, Barossa wines were considered a novelty, however today they receive some of the highest accolades from critics. The Barossa's climate is perfect for producing opulent wines. It's soils are some of the planets oldest, with ancient red mineral deposits streaking the vineyards and adding unique flavor to the grapes.
"Rick Burge, whom I visited on my trip to Barossa last year, manages to keep prices in check for his sumptuous wines, which offer extraordinarily pure fruit, and the warmth and intensity of the Barossa. Readers should not confuse these wines with those from Barossa’s Grant Burge. The latter offerings are competent but commercial, simple efforts."
