The Ripping DDG Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 Cleanskin is exactly what its name promises — a bold, crowd-pleasing Barossa Shiraz that delivers serious flavour and outstanding value. Sourced from the renowned Barossa Valley, this wine takes full advantage of an exceptional vintage that produced reds of remarkable depth, balance and colour.

The 2021 growing season in Barossa Valley is widely regarded as one of the standout vintages of the decade, delivering perfectly ripened Shiraz with intense fruit concentration and natural balance. Those conditions shine through here, creating a wine that is generous, expressive and immediately enjoyable.

On the nose, the bouquet opens with vibrant red fruit aromatics, gently framed by subtle toasty oak notes that add warmth and complexity without overshadowing the fruit. The palate follows through with rich blackberry flavours layered with dark mocha chocolate, creating a plush, satisfying mouthfeel. Smooth, silky tannins glide effortlessly across the palate, carrying the fruit through to a superbly balanced, lingering finish that makes this wine dangerously easy to enjoy.

True to its cleanskin roots, this is a no-nonsense Barossa Shiraz that overdelivers in the glass. It has been widely described as a “ripping Barossa Shiraz that offers incredible value for money,” making it an ideal choice for everyday drinking or stocking the cellar without the premium price tag.

Perfect alongside char-grilled steaks, slow-cooked beef, lamb cutlets or a rich winter pasta, the Ripping DDG Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 is all about bold flavour, smooth texture and pure Barossa character — proof that great Shiraz doesn’t need a famous label to impress.
