    PALATE Muscular red fruit and spice with brilliant texture and layers of dark fruits lead to chewy long tannins. FOOD MATCHING Will shine with sirloin and truffled mash. WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS Each vintage I like to express the Barossa in a contrary manner. ‘The Contrarian’ is my indulgent, creative winemaking outlet and challenges traditional concepts around Barossan Shiraz.

    Variety: Shiraz/Syrah


    Country of Origin:


    Region: Barossa Valley


    Vintage: 2021


    Award:
    JAMES HALLIDAY 95 Points Whole-bunch fermentation and maturation in large format oak. Uncommonly deep colour given the whole bunches, likewise the density of the savoury black fruits. It's hard to reconcile this wine and its 2020 sibling (red cherry fruits), but so be it. While rich and medium- to full-bodied, the black fruits and spice (rather than tannins) carry the day.
