Hart of the Barossa Ye Brave Shiraz 2022, Barossa Valley
Planted in 1902 in the heart of the Barossa. Hand picked, hand pruned, and a selection of the finest barrels from an outstanding vintage.
Deep, concentrated crimson. Dark fruits sit with a distinctive ferrous minerality and savoury edge that speaks to the age of the vines.
On the palate, dark currants and black fruits intertwine with that mineral character. The tannins are savoury and a little rustic, with a meaty quality that feels honest rather than polished. It is the old vines and organic viticulture you can taste; healthy, grounded and alive. There is understated power here. The wine makes you go back for another glass because the minerality keeps revealing itself, carrying the dark fruit with real length and vitality. You can feel the life in the vineyard in every sip, and you know it is a special wine when you are transported to another place.
Vino Masters Score: 97/100 ★★★★★ An old-vine Barossa Shiraz with dark currants, ferrous minerality and savoury, meaty tannins.
