Turkey Flat Butchers Block Red 2017 (Barossa Valley)

Named in honour of our family’s original use for the building that now houses the Turkey Flat Cellar Door, the Butchers Block Red is a structured, fruit-driven & medium bodied wine. A crowd-pleasing style of wine that offers excellent value for money.

High spring rainfall and consistent temperatures throughout the growing season saw higher yields coupled with excellent flavour intensity. Overall, an exceptional year.

Each varietal is vinified & aged individually in French oak barrels before the final blending process. Shiraz adds the generous mouthfeel, Grenache the spice and cherry-like sweetness and Mataro the backbone, savoury edge and fragrance. Balance is crucial, each varietal’s contribution is evident, yet nothing competes for your attention.

100% French, 2% new. Harvested between January & March 2017, 13°-15° Baumé, 9% whole bunch & bottled August 2018.

The Turkey Flat Butchers Block Red 2017 vintage consists of 46% Shiraz, 38% Grenache, and 16% Mataro. Winery Notes
