Our Barossa Valley Shiraz is a combination of our three best parcels of shiraz picked from separate patches across the estate. With delicious hints of plum and rich dark fruit with added notes of spice and pepper, this wine has balanced oak with an elegant softness and wonderful structure. This wine has classic shiraz characteristics and is a real crowd pleaser.

Vineyard

Interwoven between three beautiful creeks sits our vineyard featuring vines over 27 years old over three classic grape varietals, Shiraz, Mataro and Merlot. It is this patch on the Western side of the Barossa where some of the best grapes in some of Australia’s most iconic wines were harvested and Triple Creek Wines are no exception.

Vintage

Quality is exceptional across the varieties and styles for 2021. Favourable conditions in Spring provided for ideal flowering and fruit set. Summer was relatively mild providing for optimal growing conditions. Harvest began in March and went well into April. Reds have intense, rich, and balanced flavours and colours. A vintage for now and the long term.

Winemaking Details

Our fruit is picked at the optimum time to allow it to fully ripen to get the perfect balance of alcohol, acid and fruit before it is hand picked and gently crushed. Open fermented and finished in both French and American Oak.

Reviews

Richly fruited and opulent, the fragrant bouquet shows blackberry, star anise, dried flower and vanillin oak characters. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and fleshy texture, wonderfully framed by layers of silky tannins, finishing splendidly long and delicious. At its best: now to 2033. 

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit

This comes from one of the best vintages in the Barossa in recent times. It’s a powerhouse wine of rich, opulent, multi-layered fruit revealing loads of dark plum and blackberry, a little licorice, coffee grinds and a syrupy dark chocolate. A little spice and pepper on the finish adds a nice touch. Despite that massive concentration of fruit, it displays a plush softness and suppleness that makes it such an appealing wine.

Score: 95/100
Cellar: 15 years
