The Fu2 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 is a striking wine that captures the essence of an exceptional vintage in the Barossa Valley. The 2021 growing season was marked by mild conditions and below-average temperatures, creating an elegant and classic vintage with some of the best acidities seen in recent years. Reds from this vintage showcase a rich density of color and flavor, with the Shiraz standing out as a prime example of quality from this extraordinary year. Renowned winemakers have hailed it as the best odd-year vintage since 1991, and the Fu2 certainly lives up to that legacy.

Sourced from a single vineyard, this wine is crafted to hold all the characteristics that FU drinkers are accustomed to—bold, powerful, and full of personality. The 2021 Fu2 Shiraz presents inky red/black with vibrant purple hues, offering a wine with great intensity and depth typical of the FU style. The aromas are immediately distinctive, featuring dark chocolate, berry coulis, leather, and cinnamon, creating an inviting and complex bouquet.

On the palate, the wine is textural with powerful fruit flavors and silky-soft tannins that provide a rich mouthful. The balance of tannins and the deep, concentrated fruit characters come together beautifully, allowing the flavors to mirror the aromas of toffee, spice, and a big hit of berry. The structure and complexity of this wine ensure it will age gracefully, offering the potential to continue drinking beautifully for years to come, with the best of Australian Shiraz on display.

A truly distinctive FU style wine, the Fu2 Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 is an exceptional addition to any cellar. It’s perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats, slow-cooked lamb, or beef Wellington, as well as rich cheeses.
