The Shanahans The Barking Dog Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2024 is a vibrant and expressive Barossa GSM blend that highlights the aromatic charm and balance of old-vine Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro. Sourced from mature Western Barossa vineyards — including 61-year-old Grenache and 59-year-old Mataro vines — this highly acclaimed release earned 95 Points & 5 Stars from Russell Gallagher at Vinomasters, while the previous vintage achieved 96 Points and Double Gold at the Melbourne International Wine Competition.

Lifted aromatics of plum, forest fruits, cherries, liquorice and dried herbs lead into a beautifully fruit-driven palate layered with juicy dark berries, savoury spice and subtle French oak complexity. Matured for 12 months in large-format seasoned oak puncheons, the wine delivers freshness, finesse and seamless texture, with silky tannins and impressive length creating a refined yet generous Barossa GSM style.

Perfect with chargrilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, woodfired pizza or aged hard cheeses, this multi-dimensional Barossa blend is approachable now while still offering excellent medium-term cellaring potential.
