Description
Chaffey Bros Synonymous Barossa Shiraz 2018
Chaffey Bros Synonymous Barossa Shiraz has a deep crimson/purple in colour with a nose of cedar, spice and plum hinting at the mix of dark fruits and chocolate lurking on the rich structured palate. The wine shows a powerful depth of flavour with plush lingering mouthfeel. A careful selection of established low-yielding vineyards stretching from the North Barossa townships of Ebenezer and Light Pass through to Lyndoch in Southern Barossa. Matured in new and seasoned French and American oak allowing the vibrant mid-palate of dark and light fruit to come to the fore.

Fermentation takes place in a mix of open and static fermenters with 6-7 days of maceration before pressing into french and american hogsheads barrels (300L) where they mature separately for about 12 months before bottling unfined and with the minimum SO2 added.

Eucalypt strikes from the outset though it brings raspberry and sweet plum with it. There’s a clovey, almost graphite-like note here too. This is a soft, supple, well-shaped shiraz, just complex enough and essentially easy to like.
