Château Tanunda was established in 1890 and is a heritage icon of Australia’s wine industry. This grand building, its magnificent gardens and vineyards are owned by the Geber family who continue the  century old tradition of fine winemaking.  
This is the definitive “Barossa Shiraz” big, strong and bold – with classic Shiraz characters typical of  lower yielding hard clay soils and exposed sites from Lyndoch and the Semmler vineyard where these grapes were sourced.

Region:
Barossa, Australia

Country of Origin:
Australia

Type:
Red/Rouge (Still)

Grape Variety:
Shiraz

Vinification:
The grapes were destalked (separating berries from the bunch) and placed uncrushed into small stainless steel open fermenters. A cultured yeast was used to start the fermentation and the tanks were hand plunged spending 7 days on skins at 28°C.
Further maturation in a mixture of French and American Oak for 15 months has resulted in a wine of great structure and finesse.

Tasting Notes:
It is full of the luscious varietal qualities of leather, earth, pepper and wild blackberry. The flavours are strong and full with firm tannins and a long and lingering finish.
