Impressive Bargain Barossa Shiraz

Description
This is a terrific full bodied expression of Barossa shiraz (all Ebenezer- northern Barossa fruit from the Riebke brothers vineyard) – it’s brimming with ripe flavour yet balanced by refreshing acidity. Again a bargain for quality and value!
Winemaker Kym Teusner said of this wine “With the exception of what I prefer to refer to as the ‘challenging’ 2011 vintage, we’ve been served up a good run of vintages in the Barossa in recent years ranging from the ‘very good’ to the ‘bloody outstanding’. And as we start to taste our way through our 2020 vintage reds, we’re increasingly of the opinion that this vintage is up there with the best of them….the extremely low crop levels being great for fruit quality. The Riebke tradition continues with the 2020 wine…….rich, abundant flavour and serious drinkability whilst also being easy on the pocket. The wine is jam packed with Barossa Shiraz flavours….plums, black fruits and warm spices of cinnamon, nutmeg and 5 spice. There’s a touch of mid palate sweetness, some mocha and black olive and the soft tannins are integrated seamlessly through the mid palate. We’ve taken it easy on the oak to allow the rich dark fruit to take center stage. This is a plush, vibrant
wine of immense generosity and, in my opinion incredible value.”
94 points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review “Deep red/purple colour. Earthy, pepper and graphite aromas, hints of dried spices, the palate full-bodied and rich, well concentrated and powerful, with a core of deep, sweetly super-ripe black fruit flavour. The tannins quickly wash in and balance the opulence of the fruit. A big, generous, in-your-face shiraz with much to enjoy, now or for many years to come. Impressive stuff and great value.
92 Points, David Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion “Shiraz sourced from the Riebke vineyards in the famous northern Barossa growing area of Ebenezer. The Riebke always represents solid value and this release is no different, with oodles of deep blackberry, black cherry and dark plum fruits laden with baking spices, black licorice, dark chocolate and earth. There is a fine, sandy tannin frame, super-ripe unctuous black fruits and plenty more to like.
