Winemaker Notes

The Barossa Valley Shiraz is sourced from mature Barossa Valley vineyards (20+ years old) with the majority located along the region’s North-Western ridge in Marananga and Seppeltsfield as well as Lyndoch Valley in the Southern Barossa. Grape parcels are vinified separately in concrete vats, before being basket pressed and assembled into large-format 4,500-litre French oak foudres for 15 months maturation.

    Packs a wallop, with intense blackberry, plum and licorice notes, set on a dense body, with sink-your-teeth-into-them tannins and black pepper and Earl Grey tea details on the finish. Great focus. Drink now through 2028.

    In case you thought the Powells were only making tiny quantities of unaffordable wines, the 2016 Barossa Valley Shiraz retails for a reasonable $30 per bottle. From mostly 20- to 30-year-old vines in Marananga, it's aged in foudre. It's medium to full-bodied, with tar and black olive notes on opening that blossom into cherry and blueberry fruit after decanting. The tannins are fine, lingering on the silky finish.

    COMMENTARY: The 2016 Powell & Son Shiraz is beautiful and well-balanced wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine is attractive and ready-to-drink. Its alluring aromas and flavors of red and black fruit exhibit an excellent lift on the palate. Pair it with grilled gruyere-topped hamburgers. (Tasted: September 10, 2019, San Francisco, CA)
