Description

98 points & Top 100 Wines of the Year
"Its perfect texture and balance nullify the vintage challenge."
- James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

Turkey Flat is one of the stalwarts of the Barossa, an icon that has been at the head of the pack for four generations and still going strong.

The Shiraz vines that contribute to this wine are some of the oldest on the planet dating back as far as 1847 which is a remarkable testament to their continuing productivity.

It's powerful and intense, a classic Barossa benchmark that will develop beautifully in the cellar.

98 points & Top 100 Wines of the Year - "The so-so 2020 vintage had its problems, but the ancient (1847 planted) vines provided the backbone of this ultra-elegant, medium-bodied, French-oaked shiraz. Its perfect texture and balance nullify the vintage challenge." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

Shiraz is a variety that carries great significance in the Barossa Valley and as caretakers for some of the oldest surviving Shiraz vines in the world (dating back to 1847), we take immense pride in crafting this wine. Our highly acclaimed Shiraz has received numerous awards since its first vintage in 1990. However it’s the versatility of this wine, in the way it embraces both power and elegance that we are most proud of. Approachable in its youth or cellar for 10+ years.

Turkey Flat

Shiraz was first planted in the 'Turkey Flat' area of the Barossa near Tanunda in 1847 (though there were no turkeys, just plain bustards). The Schulz family have tended vines here since the 1860s, and current custodian Christie Schulz is the fourth generation of the family to continue the tradition.

Their name has become a watchword for consistent quality, their reputation growing for the Rhone varietals Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre, while the Rose has been at the top of the tree for the past decade or so.

Under Christie, Turkey Flat continues to develop to an ecologically positive approach to their viticulture with practices such as applications of organic mulch under-vine, organic fertilisers mid-row and a strong emphasis on cover crop management have all become integral in their quest to restore soil health.
