Barossa Valley is home to some of the world's finest shiraz and the Carriage Dog upholds this tradition in emphatic style. I have been looking for this exact type of wine that singularly shows excellent regional complexity & over delivers with fruit sourced from three vineyards, we have selected from both the Upper Barossa and Valley Floor to create a wine that offers the best of these sub-regions.
The Upper Barossa giving us intense aromatics, black fruit, elegance and spice; and the Valley Floor bringing with it ripe and powerful fruit flavours.
Aged in both seasoned and new 100% French Oak to provide structure and complexity. This is delightfully typical, pure engaging Barossa Shiraz.
There is a total of 13,256 hectares of vineyard area planted in the Barossa. The majority of plantings are Shiraz, with other varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Semillon also playing the part in the Barossa wine tapestry.
There are 755 grape growers in the Barossa, with an average vineyard size of 17.7 hectares.
The Barossa is an exceptional and diverse viticultural region, with a profound history of grape growing and winemaking dating back to 1842. Acknowledged as one of the world's leading wine regions, it is home to some of the oldest vineyards in the world.
My suggestion is to buy a good load of this and enjoy and day of the week you choose.
