Balthasar Shiraz

Balthasar Shiraz is one of Grant Burge winery’s most acclaimed wines every year.

Four plots in Eden Valley were selected for this wine, with each batch undergoing a unique fermentation process. Traditional European winemaking techniques were used, particularly extended maceration, which adds depth of flavour and softens the tannins. After pressing, 60% of the wine is transferred to large French oak vats, while the remaining 40% goes into standard French oak barrels (2,500 litres). After six months of ageing, the barrels are cleaned, and the wine then continues to mature in them for a further 12 months.

Dry Australian Shiraz pairs beautifully with beef steaks, grilled lamb, and spicy dishes. It also complements game, smoked meats, and hard cheeses. Avoid delicate fish and light vegetable dishes, which would be overpowered by its full-bodied flavor.

It is located in the heart of the famous Barossa
Valley in South Australia. Thanks to its hard work,
Grant Burge is renowned throughout Australia
and has won numerous international awards.
