Schubert Goose Yard Block Shiraz 2021

The team consider this to be their flagship wine, and it is sourced entirely from their Roennfeldt Road Vineyard. Viticulture ensures small bunches which yield intensely flavoured grapes and velvety tannins. Wonderful to see that there are still wines from the stunning 2021 vintage available. If you haven’t already gone overboard on that vintage, don’t miss what is surely one of the last opportunities. Under cork. The colour here is near black/opaque maroon. There is still plenty of oak evident, but integration is still on track. The wine is plush, approachable and generous with aromas of chocolate/mocha, coffee beans, black olives, vanilla, charcuterie, licorice, squid ink, blackberries and cassis. The wine is impeccably balanced, offers a sleek texture, has drive, focus and pronounced flavours, and is extremely long, finishing with silky tannins. A cracking Barossa Valley Shiraz from a great vintage, enjoy this over the next fifteen to twenty years.
