”96.2/3.8% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon, from 35+yo vines. Matured 20 months in 18% new 14/4% French/American oak, the balance seasoned French oak barrels. The hierarchy of shiraz is well established at Grant Burge, and ascending the tree delivers more density of colour, more depth of black fruits and more impacting oak presence. Quintessential Barossa, Filsell unites fruit power with licorice, milk and dark chocolate oak and inimitable nuances of Barossa mettwurst. Medium-grained tannin confidence lays out a long finish that will appreciate medium-term cellaring to integrate.”
