2024 Bobbie Burns Shiraz

The 55th vintage 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 54th vintage is a great example of the style we seek for our Bobbie Burns Shiraz.

Early season rainfall eventually gave way to drier conditions in late Summer. The resulting ripe flavours have produced a rich wine with great fruit depth and balance. After fermentation on skins for seven to ten days using open 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 before the final blend was assembled.

A youthful yet rich wine with mouthfilling redcurrant, spiced plums and earthiness typical of Bobbie from Rutherglen. Smooth and seamless, with subtle French oak with fine tannins to finish.
