Food Pairing:

This bold and structured Shiraz is the perfect match for equally 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.

Aging Potential:

While Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Limited Reserve Shiraz 2019 is approachable now, it has the depth and complexity to age gracefully for 10–15 years. Over time, expect the tannins to soften and the wine to develop further layers of savoury spices, earthy undertones, and dried fruit characteristics, making it a perfect candidate for cellaring.

Producer and History:

Château Tanunda, established in 1890, is one of Barossa’s oldest and most iconic wineries. With a rich history spanning over 130 years, the estate is known for producing wines that exemplify the best of the Barossa Valley. The Grand Barossa range is crafted to reflect the region’s unique terroir and Château Tanunda’s commitment to winemaking excellence. The Limited Reserve Shiraz is a limited-production wine, made only in the best vintages from the finest hand-selected fruit.

Climate, Terroir, and Region:

Barossa Valley is celebrated for its warm Mediterranean climate, with hot days and cooler nights providing the perfect conditions for growing Shiraz. The region’s ancient soils, which range from sandy loam to red clay, add complexity to the wines. The 2019 vintage benefited from a long, dry growing season, which concentrated the flavors in the grapes, leading to wines with excellent depth, structure, and balance. Château Tanunda’s vineyards, spread across the valley, capture the diverse expressions of Barossa’s terroir.

Grape Variety:

Crafted entirely from Shiraz, Australia’s flagship grape variety, the Grand Barossa Limited Reserve 2019 showcases the grape’s ability to produce rich, powerful wines with intense flavors and a smooth, rounded texture. Shiraz from the Barossa Valley is renowned for its dark fruit profile, spice, and velvety tannins, all of which are fully realized in this outstanding vintage.
