Schubert The Gosling Shiraz 2022

From Block 4 of the Estate’s Roennfeldt Road Vineyard, the site tends to yield fewer bunches though slightly larger berries than is achieved from the rest of the vineyard. This translates to a more generous and approachable style than we see with some of the wines, although we are talking small degrees of difference. This release is an absolute belter. Dark maroon with a magenta rim, the nose reveals notes of plums and cassis, licorice, blackberries, soy, coffee beans, smoked meats, beef stock, bay leaves and dried herbs. Ripe, rich and balanced, this is a classic Barossa Shiraz and should be extremely popular. There is excellent length here through to fine, sleek tannins. An impressive wine that will provide exciting drinking for at least the next ten years, considerably longer if you have the patience.
