The Story

The fruit for this wine is sourced from Miamba vineyard, located at the southern end of the Barossa, near the town of Lyndoch. The Miamba vineyard has a long viticultural history. When Grant Burge purchased the property in 1983, it was completely bare. Careful planting and sustainable practices have returned this block to its former glory.

The 2016 vintage in the Barossa commenced with a generally cool winter with lower than average rainfall, which continued into spring, as well as warmer than average temperatures through November, December and January. Late January rain combined with a mild February and March allowed for a smooth harvest and good flavour development. The 2016 vintage will be regarded as a very good to exceptional year for reds in the Barossa.

After crushing and de-stemming, the fruit was fermented in a combination of open and static fermenters and pumped over three times per day for six to 10 days to achieve optimal flavour and structure. Several batches of the Shiraz were pressed directly into new French and European oak hogsheads and allowed to complete primary and secondary fermentation in oak. These components remained in oak for eight months prior to blending with the unoaked components. The entire blend was then transferred back into oak where it matured for a further nine months.
