2019 Bobbie Burns Shiraz

Our celebration of 50 years of a Rutherglen icon.

A Rutherglen icon – showing the true power of the Rutherglen shiraz fruit with the tannin structure for longevity. For over fifty years now, Bobbie Burns Shiraz has enjoyed a reputation for being of consistently high quality. This 53rd vintage is a great example of the style we seek for our Bobbie Burns Shiraz.

The dry winter and heat spikes through the summer growing season have produced a wine with incredible depth and concentration of fruit flavours. After fermentation on skins for seven to ten days using open hand plunged vats and closed fermenters, this wine was subsequently aged for a period of 18 months in a mixture of new to three year old premium French and American barrels.

A plush full flavoured wine with blackberries and spiced plums. Bottle age development highlights the smooth seamless palate with subtle French oak and vibrant silky tannins to finish.
