Description

The Cabernet/Shiraz partnership is one that is unique to Australia.

This classic wine style has deep roots in the Barossa Valley. Here, winemaker Ben Chipman pays homage to the pioneering winemakers of the past who paved the way for the current generation of Barossa winemakers.

"The classic Barossa ‘Claret’ is the marrying of our region’s great varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. From an early age we learnt to appreciate and respect this traditional Barossa wine style as a true example of varietal harmony." - Ben Chipman

It's a robust wine of deep-set fruit and suede-like feel. Rich and opulent, this is a modern tip of the cap to the great wines of Australia's past.

    SUCH AN UNEXPECTED,BEAUTIFUL DROP OF WINE

    What a beautiful drop of full bodied red. This is definitely a good drop of red and it has never failed my expectations.

    I discovered this lovely red a few years ago whilst dining at out in Adelaide.

    I promise you that you too will love this fine wine.

Barossa Valley

This is a dedication to the favourite Barossa blend of the old guns, from their proud sons. The classic Barossa ‘Claret’ is the marrying of our region’s great varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. From an early age we learnt to appreciate and respect this traditional Barossa wine style as a true example of varietal harmony.

The fruit is handpicked at optimum ripeness and flavour profile ensuring overall balance before being gently destemmed to keep as many whole berries and then open fermented for a minimum of five days with the juice being pumped over the skins twice daily to maximize oxygenation and purity of fermentation. Once the wine is dry it is then gently basket pressed minimizing the extraction of harsh extractive tannins.

Matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak barriques.

Colour: Rich purple.

Bouquet: Intense Shiraz brambles with a herbal Cabernet lift.

Palate: We love a good ‘Barossa Claret’, and that’s precisely what we’ve got here. Ripe, supple Shiraz with a lovely Cebernet backbone, satisfyingly full-flavoured. Great with rich gamey flavours – preferably game you’ve shot yourself, of course!
