Hi quality Shiraz at a great price. Year in, year out performer.

Grant Burge’s Filsell vineyard with near century old vines is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley and consistently produces fruit of great intensity and concentration. Planted in 1920, this vineyard also produces some of the fruit for the highly acclaimed Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz. Filsell is known to loyal followers as Meshach’s younger brother.

The 2016 Filsell Shiraz displays aromas of liquorice, plum, raspberry, dark chocolate and vanilla. The full bodied palate offers rich and dense flavours of plum, dark chocolate and spice. The long persistent tannins are balanced by richness and sweetness of fruit. The 2016 Filsell generously demonstrates the quality of the 2016 season in the Barossa, powerful yet elegant tannin structure and lovely mid palate weight. Whilst approachable now this powerful wine can be confidently cellared for 20 years after release.
