Alexander King Cameron Heritage Reserve Limestone Coast Shiraz 2020

Black core with red brick hue. Beautifully fragrant nose with alluring blackberry, blueberry notes with oak and Chinese five spice adding the complexity. The palate is long and luscious displaying fleshy fruit flavours highlighting the high-quality fruit used for this wine. Blackberry characters, along with some blueberries, licorice, black pepper, and dusty leather interwoven across the palate with fine tannins lingering on the slightly spritzy finish. Will drink well now although will age well and develop more complexity.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2018

A full bodied wine with excellent framework and a multitude of layers. Instantly apparent are blackberry and black cherry fruit with hints of dark chocolate and vanilla characters laying over top. A very decadent and opulent wine with a balanced palate, excellent structure and refined texture.

Viking Grand Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019

Dark deep red with crimson edge. Exceptionally concentrated and youthful currently, distinct nose of roasted herb, truffle and jammy black fruits, raspberries, blueberries and cassis. The body is round and voluminous with mouth fulls of  pure black fruit interwoven with some earth and roasted herb character adding a perfect side note whilst the finish is powerful and quite long and youthful it should only improve over the next 2 years and drink well for many years to come.

Basedow Of Barossa Black Label Shiraz 2020

Dark red and purple hues. Balanced aromas of blackberry, cedar and pepper on the nose. The palate is decadent and rich flavours of plum, dark chocolate and black cherry combine with silky tannins to create a smooth finish.

"Generous fruit packed noze with peppery spice. Lovely mulberry-like fruit flavours that are nice and savoury across the palate." 

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2018

94 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer Wine Companion

"From 25–40yo vines in the northern Barossa. Matured 18 months in 20–30% new American oak barrels. Blackwell assumes a unique place in the St Hallett hierarchy, embodying the density and impact of the northern Barossa in waves of blackberry and satsuma plum fruit and licorice. Fantastic hue of full, vibrant purple. Dark chocolate oak lurks in the background. Quintessential modern Barossa shiraz in all its glory."

93 Point Rated - Stuart Knox The Real Review

"Black to purple hue, coating the glass. The nose is a melange of baked plums, cinnamon and paprika. Monster concentration, a sense of viscosity across the palate from this. Purple fruits abound with licorice, mocha and sweet spice layers. With all that concentration there are more than equally concentrated tannins to corral the enthusiasm. It drives long and deeply into the finish with just a hint of heat lingering."

93 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front

"Strangely, the last vintage of Blackwell reviewed here was the 2015. I’m blaming Campbell. Vegemite and toasty spiced oak over ripe blackberry, liquorice and a minty floral perfume. Rich, full-bodied, ripe sweet dark fruit backed with roast coffee oak, almost sticky grainy tannin, plush, slightly salty, with a firm dry finish of fair length and some ripe raspberry bobbing up in the aftertaste. Rock solid."

Alexander King Cameron Heritage Reserve Limestone Coast Shiraz 2020

The fruit was selected from a single vineyard with a northeast facing slope and picked at optimum ripeness and transported to the winery and immediately crushed. Following on from this we fermented the juice on skins for 12 days to maximise colour and flavour extraction. The skins were then pressed gently and the pressings pumped back with the free-run juice. The wine was then fermented over a week then allowed to settle and was then racked off lees. The wine underwent malolactic fermentation in barrel and then was aged in the same barrels for 14 months. The wine was blended and prepared for bottling with minimal filtration.

St Hallett Blackwell Shiraz 2018

The Blackwell Shiraz is consistently sourced from vineyards planted in the parishes of Ebenezer, Greenock and Moppa Hills, with each parcel brought to the winery as individual parcels. The pump over regime and temperature of the ferment varies across the blocks (and can also change depending on vintage conditions). Time on skins is typically in the range of 8- 12 days and ferment temperatures range from 20 - 30°C. After pressing the parcels go directly to barrel where it matures for 12 to 18 months.

Viking Grand Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019

The fruit is sourced from a single vineyard in the Western Barossa Valley from the iron stone rich soils. The grapes are picked and delivered to the winery and gently worked through the de-stemmer before being transferred to an open fermenter.  The juice is pumped over daily to extract as much concentrated fruit as possible for a week period before draining and being basket pressed. The skins are then gently pressed for approximately 24 hours. After the wine has completed its malolactic ferment, it is matured in new and seasoned American oak barrels prior to bottling with minimal fining and filtration.
