About the wine
A classic, limited edition Barossa Shiraz from one of the region's best
-
This stunning Barossa Shiraz comes courtesy of Stuart Bourne, the 2020 Barossa Winemaker of the Year. He’s one of our top Winemakers and as a very special treat for our 10th Birthday this year, he crafted this VIP, limited release bottle. It’s a spectacular example of what this iconic region (and winemaker) can deliver.

Treated with the utmost respect for the fruit and the region, this glorious red will put a huge smile on your face. One sip will reveal why Stuey has earned such acclaim! With beautiful crimson hues and wafting aromas of blackfruits, this is firm, ripe and full in your mouth. The flavours will linger for quite some time - delicious.

This wine was made with a wonderful tapestry of carefully chosen Barossa Valley and Eden Valley Shiraz grapes. Round, soft, rich and smooth, it’s exactly like a Barossa Shiraz should be. “Every now and then we get parcels of wine that rate very highly, so we put them in the ‘Back of the Shed’ for further consideration,” explains Stuey. “Once matured, we then blend them to create something special.”

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Stuart Bourne
- Why did Stuart go down the wild winemaking path? To be able to drink his homework of course! Working right alongside three of his closest mates is the cherry on the top of this winemaking guru's story so far.
- He was originally a graduate in both Anatomy and Pharmacology. Since winemaking combines every discipline of Science, it appeals to the geek within. He loves tasting his experiments and now has 20 Australian vintages under his belt!
- For Stuart, it is the local growing families that continue to be the beating heart of the Barossa's world famous brilliance generation after generation. His passion for the Barossa has led to plenty of career highlights, like making it into the Top 100 Wines of the World in The Wine Spectator. Having a wine that he made served to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II also wasn't a bad day at the office!
