Filsell Shiraz

A deep red wine with a dark hue and youthful purple highlights.

This wine comes from vineyards that have been continuously cultivated for winegrowing for almost a century. The cooler 2011 vintage called for meticulous grape selection, and the grapes are harvested by hand. Different picks are fermented separately. At the start, the juice ferments at 28 degrees, followed by 7–8 days at 22 degrees. Fermentation is completed in oak barrels. The wine then ages for 20 months, mainly in one-year-old American oak barrels, with a smaller proportion in French oak barrels.

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 its full-bodied flavour would overpower.

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 many international awards.
