Craneford No.1 Shiraz Marananga Vineyard Shiraz 2024, Marananga, Barossa Valley

Marananga sits in a magnificent stratosphere of its own when it comes to growing grapes and crafting exceptional wines. This Shiraz is a stunning example of the quality and character this remarkable Barossa sub-region can deliver.

Deep crimson with a concentrated purple core. Blackberry, dark currants, ripe plum and black cherry, with liquorice, dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee bean, mocha and exotic spice.

Gloriously rich and fruit-filled. Luscious layers of dark currants, blackberry and ripe plum flow across the mouth. Remarkable depth and concentration. Generous dark fruits interwoven with spice, liquorice, coffee bean and mocha. Finely structured tannins give definition and balance to the richness. A wonderful savoury character builds through the back palate, with ripe dark chocolate, earthy minerality and a distinctive volcanic-soil character. The finish is exceptionally long, rich and satisfying, with lingering mocha, dark berries and savoury spice.

A magnificent expression of Marananga Shiraz. Powerful yet refined, luscious and deeply satisfying. Exceptional fruit concentration and a fascinating interplay of dark chocolate, roasted coffee bean and earthy, savoury complexity. A wine that showcases the extraordinary potential of Marananga and the craftsmanship of Damien Tscharke. Absolutely outstanding.
