Ziegler The Brickyard’ Shiraz

93 POINTS – Wine Pilot, Ken Gargett
“For me, this is the pick of the trio. As with the others, fruit and flavour to the fore is the motto, wines to give pleasure even if they are not overly complex this would be an absolute star at your next gourmet barbecue. A delicious Barossa Shiraz that is opaque maroon in colour showing lifted aromatics with plums and mulberries, black olives, hints of leather and delicatessen meats with good intensity. Seamless too, through to very fine tannins with lots of chocolate notes on the palate and good length. It will cellar for six to eight years if you feel the need, but better to enjoy over the coming winter.”

The Brickyard Shiraz is an homage to the ancestral craft of the Ziegler family. Deep purple red colour with an aromatic and lifted nose. The palate is medium bodied with rich dark cherry flavours and forest floor a wine made to stand the test of time.

Harvested at full flavour ripeness from a selection of Barossa vineyards. The wine was gently handled through fermentation and extraction on skins to develop flavour and structure, whilst still allowing the fruit quality to shine. Post ferment, the wine was aged for just 3 months to retain brightness and pristine fruit quality.
