The Valley Floor Shiraz is sold as a midweek drinking wine, but I have had this wine with 10 years on the clock and it goes very well! In fact, it's slightly more appealing as an older wine, once all the frisky, pert, jolly fruit characters have had time to settle into their tannins, their meaty, spicy, savory flavours and the texture has further softened. So, in the words of Stevie, Go Your Own Way, but I'll be drinking the 2019 Valley Floor Shiraz from 2024.

Marked by scents of vanilla and cedar, the 2018 Valley Floor Shiraz boasts enough blackberry and mulberry fruit to easily handle the wood (15% new American oak, with the balance a mix of used French and American barrels). Full-bodied and supple, almost creamy in texture, it's concentrated yet balanced, with a long, mouthwatering finish.

Loam and black olives impart just enough of a savory edge to the mix of raspberries and boysenberries in the 2016 Valley Floor Shiraz. It's a supple, medium to full-bodied Barossa Shiraz, with plenty of drink-now charm, yet enough depth and richness to hold another 5-6 years.

Vividly juicy, with tobacco and fresh earth accents to the concentrated wild blueberry and blackberry flavors. Rustic and intense on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 300 cases imported.??–MW??Region: Australia / Barossa Select to Add
