Tasting note

Our Single Vineyard Shiraz is made from a combination of the best three parcels of Shiraz from our estate from low yielding vines and an element of dry grown hand picked and pruned vines. This classis shiraz has hints of plum and rich dark fruit with notes of spice and pepper.  Balanced oak with an elegant softness and wonderful structure.
 

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 2022. 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.

Technical Details

Cellaring: This wine is great to drink now or will age gracefully over 10 years.

Reviews

Gracefully opulent and complex, the enticing bouquet shows dark fruit intensity, cake spice, cured meat, rich floral and cedar characters. The concentrated palate delivers awesome weight and depth, superbly framed by richly textured mouthfeel and beautifully melded tannins. Sumptuous and harmonious with a prolonged, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2040. 

Sam Kim – Wine Orbit

This is a super concentrated and powerful expression of Barossa shiraz. It comes from the three best parcels on the estate and it delivers a wine of opulence and great fruit concentration, crammed with blackberry and dark plum, a liberal sprinkling of spices and some dried herbs and just a light touch of pepper. It’s a concentrated wine but there’s an effortless ease on the palate as it pushes through to a sustained finish.
