2021 Turkey Flat Vineyards Shiraz

First produced in 1990, Turkey Flat’s Shiraz has gone on to forge a formidable standing amongst wine critics and collectors alike. From the outstanding 2021 vintage fruit was sourced from Turkey Flat’s Bethany and Stonewell vineyards with vines dating back as far as 1847. Maturation took place in French oak (30% new) for a period of 18 months.

Rich, polished and possessing a refined opulence that’s backed by substantial underlying structure, this is one of the finest Turkey Flat Shiraz’ for quite some time.

Spectacular density of colour featuring an impenetrable inky black heart along with a near equally deep vibrant dark red black hue. Delighting the olfactory senses are aromas of plum, liquorice, violets and blueberry which are delivered with a refined intensity. Vanillin cedar, dried herb and peppered earth notes are also evident. Rich and polished yet boasting substantial underlying structure, the medium to full bodied palate is flooded with moreish blackberry, dark plum, liquorice and ripe blueberry fruits. Subtle scorched earth, vanillin cedar, dried herb and peppered fennel characters are echoed across the back half. Velvety yet sturdy tannins provide the framework. Sleek yet focused in its feel, it possesses ample torque and a long driving finish that’s gorgeously layered with a mix of blue and black fruit. A superb Barossa Shiraz that embraces both power and refinement.
Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
