2008 Landrace Shiraz Mataro offers a deep garnet-purple color and intense warm blackberry and black cherry aromas over tar, earth and Chinese five spice. Crisp, full and concentrated, it provides a medium level of grainy tannins and a long finish going a little savory. Drink it now through 2015+.

The purple-colored 2006 Landrace, composed of 60% Shiraz and 40% Mataro, received the same elevage as the Cabernet. It exhibits an expressive perfume of wood smoke, damp earth, mushroom, blueberry, and blackberry leading to a full-bodied, structured, firm wine that comes off as a bit austere and compact in the finish. It will certainly evolve for at least five years at which point my rating might well seem conservative. Glaymond is the hangout of rising star Damien Tscharke whose family owns the vineyards. They are located in some of the most prime real estate of Barossa Valley. Chris Ringland is the winemaking consultant. Those who love no-holds-barred, big Barossa behemoths should check out Glaymond.

The 2005 Shiraz (60%) - Mataro (40%) “Landrace” is purple-colored with a brooding nose of earth, truffle, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. The wine has attractive flavors, but is in need of greater depth and there is a slight hole in the mid-palate. Several years in the cellar could bring out more fruit but that is a gamble. Congratulation to young Mr. Tscharke for an impressive collection of wines! Glaymond’s owner/winemaker is Damien Tscharke (whose namesake winery is reviewed in this report) with winemaking consultation from superstar Chris Ringland. The vineyards are owned by the Tscharke family which had previously sold the fruit to larger producers. The vines are in a tenderloin portion of the Barossa for growing top-class Shiraz. It should be noted that all of these wines except for the “Glen’s Selection” were reviewed from barrel samples by Robert Parker in Issue 167.
