Château Tanunda The Château Single Vineyard Shiraz 2022

Barossa Shiraz from a single vineyard, the Vine Vale Vineyard, with seven-day fermentation in open fermenters, followed by a year and a half maturing in a mix of French and American oak. If occasionally we find a touch of variation in the Tanunda wines, we can safely say that this is a hit and good value. An inky maroon hue, there is plenty of oak on show but all well balanced and forms an attractive part of the final wine. Notes of vanilla, spices, chocolate, cloves, plums, mulberries, redcurrants, a dusting of cocoa powder and some dried herbs. The chocolate notes were reinforced on the palate with a supple, even slightly creamy texture, fine tannins and good length. Delicious and should remain so for at least five to eight years.
