Red Wine2015 Filsell Old Vine Shiraz, Grant Burge
£2495Add to BasketPlanted 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.

2015 Syrah ‘Las Madres Vineyard’, Benevolent Neglect
£4850Add to BasketThis gorgeous Syrah shows the synergy between highly skilled winemakers and a genuinely great Syrah vineyard.
Floral and expressive on the nose with aromas of pepper, blueberry and black olive. The texture is what really stands out on the palate. Fresh and complex with spicy black pepper, meat and some olive tapenade flavour. The finish is full of energy and just befits what came before.
A truly delicious glass of wine and very moreish.
Also worth remembering that California wine is generally expensive in the UK and we at Wine Republic believe that if a more famous winery or brand made this, you would be paying substantially more.
