Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Limited Reserve Shiraz 2019 (1.5L Magnum)

Introduction

The Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Limited Reserve Shiraz 2019 (1.5L Magnum) is a magnificent wine that exemplifies the rich heritage and exceptional quality of the Barossa Valley, one of Australia’s most prestigious wine regions. Housed in a large-format 1.5L Magnum bottle, it adds grandeur to any occasion. Produced by Château Tanunda, an iconic winery established in 1890, this limited-production Shiraz is crafted from hand-selected fruit in the best vintages, showcasing the full potential of Barossa’s terroir.

Character Description

This Shiraz presents vibrant aromas of blackberries, plums, and blueberries, elegantly intertwined with notes of cedar, dark chocolate, and a touch of black pepper. The palate is opulent, layered with ripe dark fruit flavors complemented by hints of licorice, spice, and toasted oak. Velvety tannins provide structure and balance, leading to a long, satisfying finish with lingering flavors of espresso and sweet vanilla. Awarded with 95 points by James Halliday, this wine has earned widespread recognition for its exceptional quality.

Perfect Pairings

This bold and structured Shiraz is a perfect match for robust dishes. Pair it with grilled rib-eye steak, slow-cooked lamb shanks, or barbecued short ribs to highlight its rich, smoky character. The wine’s spice and fruit notes also make it an excellent companion to peppercorn sauces, hearty stews, and charcuterie boards featuring aged cheeses and cured meats. It is approachable now but has the depth and complexity to age gracefully for 10-15 years, developing further layers of savory spices and earthy undertones.
