2022 Idle Hill Growers Series Barossa Shiraz

It all started with a dream.   To craft a pair of Barossa wines, a Shiraz and a regal Cabernet inspired by the legendary Grant Burge duo, Filsell & Corryton Park. Two benchmarks of the region, two absolute pound-for-pound red wine champions that have captured the collective attention of Australian wine drinkers for years.

We knew straight away. If we wanted to unlock the secret to perfectly ripe Barossa fruit, with that intensity and purity of quality vineyards, there could only be one man for the job…

Grant Burge has been synonymous with quality Barossa wines for many years, and his ability to source the best fruit from the region ensures the highest quality. The Idle Hill Growers range is a nod to Burge and his work. His name is now firmly on the label in recognition of his great job sourcing fruit for these superb wines. These wines, exclusive to TWC customers, are a testament to our commitment to bringing you the best. 

Grant and the winemaking team at Burge Family sourced fruit from across the Barossa Valley floor and the High Eden to help blend together this enigmatic Shiraz. Immediately you are met with that tell-tale sign of old-vine fruit: complexity of flavour and remarkable tannins the calling card, sandwiched between 18 months of fine French oak. There's raspberry and blue fruits, cassis and mocha, vanilla and spice.

The 2022 Idle Hill Growers Series is everything you want from a Barossa Shiraz: ripe fruit, excellent oak integration, and a perfect palate weight that shows concentration and balanced acidity. Sample it now with a tomahawk steak and bearnais, or set some aside for at least a decade in the cellar.
