Grant Burge

2015 Filsell Old Vine Shiraz, Grant Burge

Barossa Valley, AustraliaVintage: 2015

Planted in 1920 Grant Burge’s Filsell vineyard is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley and consistently produces fruit of great intensity and concentration. Known as Meshach’s younger brother the 2015 vintage was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 21 months.

This 2015 vintage has an impenetrable inky black core with a deep dark red black tinged hue. Intense aromas of ripe blackberries and liquorice tinged with dark chocolate drift effortlessly out of the glass followed by vanillin oak, subtle scorched earth and spice. Rich with Barossa’s trademark concentration and glowing opulence the palate is awash with dark and black fruit flavours. Ripe blackberry, dark plum and liquorice saturate the mouth underscored by subtlety toasted vanillin oak, traces of dark chocolate and spice. Silky smooth, perfectly integrated tannins have a solid underlying structure. Excellent intensity with a long ripe blackberry, liquorice, dark plum, subtle dark chocolate, vanillin oak and spice aftertaste. Drink now to 2030.

Why we love it

Rich and brimming with confidence this is classic old school Barossa Shiraz.

Notable Awards

A mix of open and tank fermentation, matured for 21 months in 30% new oak (65% French, 36% American), the remainder used. The vines are nearing 100yo, and coupled with the use of French and American oak, have produced a full-bodied shiraz that proclaims its DNA in full voice. Blackberry fruit, licorice and tarry nuances are decorated with substantial, but ripe, tannins. Drink by 2035.

Description

Grant Burge comes from a long line of winemakers in Barossa that date back to the mid 1800’s. Grant is the fifth generation of this winemaking dynasty and formed Grant Burge Wines in 1988 with his wife, Helen. 

Grant Burge’s winemaking team is led by Chief Winemaker, Craig Stansborough. While he believes that attention to detail is of the utmost importance when crafting beautiful Barossa wines, the team is blessed with fantastic fruit that requires polishing and shaping, rather than heavy-handed manipulation in the winery.

The breadth of the Grant Burge range is wide-ranging, from sparkling and rosé wines to classic Shiraz, Grenache and fortified wines. However, the winemaking style that links them all is the commitment to enhancing flavour, generosity and drinkability.

As well as big and bold reds for the drinkers who love this style, Grant Burge has also curated a selection of elegant and stylish wines that cater to drinkers who appreciate this style. The versatility of the region is one of its greatest strengths.

With many iconic wines in the range including the ‘The Holy Trinity’ GSM or 98 point scoring Meshach Shiraz, Grant Burge wines have continued to gather much-deserved acclaim.

Not only has the Meshach 2012 been given an incredible 98 points by James Halliday, it was also recently awarded the Gold Medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2019 and has been list on the Barossa Grape and Wine Association’s inaugural Barossa Super 100 Classification, a list of the most sought after and collectable wines in Barossa.
