1x Viking Grand Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

The Viking Grand Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023 is a commanding expression of the power and richness the Barossa is known for. Deep, dark red with a crimson edge, this wine bursts with exceptional concentration and youthful vibrancy.

The palate is voluminous and bold, delivering generous mouthfuls of pure black fruit, supported by subtle earth and spice undertones. A full-bodied, layered wine with intensity and balance, it finishes long, structured and powerful, promising further complexity and refinement with a couple more years of cellaring.While still youthful, this vintage echoes the pedigree of its predecessors — the previous vintage was awarded 96 Points and a Gold Medal, with 94 Points from Sam Kim, and historical acclaim from both James Halliday and Robert Parker, who have scored Viking Wines up to 94 Points.
