The Barossa Valley is world famous for concentrated styles of Shiraz. Bogan Shiraz is well known to be a quintessential, full bodied style of Shiraz. The two Shiraz vineyards from which this wine is sourced complement each other well – The Marananga block provides intense, old vine produce with particular “blue fruit” offerings. The Nuriootpa block provides more “black fruits.” Winner of Australia’s Best Shiraz, Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.

By the time we were harvesting fruit for this wine we had already been in vintage mode for one month. On the morning of the 4th March we could see right from the start, that the 18 Bogan was going to be the great Barossa Shiraz, as the fruit just looked and tasted fantastic. After the second round of pump overs you could see that colour and flavour was never going to be a problem!
