The Story

Meshach Burge was Grant Burge's Great Grandfather, and the man who began the Burge winemaking tradition. Aged 11, he came to the Barossa Valley from Hillcot in Wiltshire, England, with his family establishing a thriving viticultural wheat and sheep property near Lyndoch. In 1865, under the watchful eye of his father, Meshach began making the first wines in the Burge winemaking history. In tribute, our finest Shiraz bears his name.

Written Notes

Has a distinct and not overly attractive herbal note that does eventually dissipate. Red berries, earth, a whiff of animal hide and a slight note of stewed plums right on the finish. Quite a burly style and best drunk soon. Well below the standards of 1990 and 1991. 87
