$180.00

Grant Burge Distinction Filsell Shiraz 2022 is crafted by Grant Burge in the Barossa Valley, sourced from the historic Filsell Vineyard planted in the mid-1960s on the western ridge of Lyndoch. This is a powerful and assured expression of Barossa Shiraz, opening with aromas of blackberry, dark plum and black cherry, layered with violet, liquorice, cocoa and warm spice. The palate is full bodied and densely structured, delivering concentrated dark fruit flavours framed by fine, velvety tannins and balanced acidity. Notes of mocha, cedar and savoury spice reflect careful oak maturation, adding depth without overwhelming the fruit. A firm mineral backbone and impressive length underline the wine’s pedigree and ageing potential. The 2022 vintage has received 96 points from leading Australian critics, reinforcing its standing as a flagship Barossa Shiraz. Drinking confidently now with decanting, it will continue to evolve gracefully over the next ten to fifteen years.
