Turkey Flat Shiraz 2016 (Barossa Valley)

Generous, plush and rich on the palate, the Turkey Flat Shiraz 2016 over delivers in every quarter. Mark’s understated hand has crafted this wine from its beginnings in our 1847 Bethany vineyard, with select parcels from the Stonewell block to create a wine of presence, power and structure. Wood spice, fresh cassis & black pepper.

Reviews
"The price of this classic estate-grown wine has been increased, but not by much, leaving this as underpriced as it is a beautifully crafted wine with a history of it's own. It has power and presence, and above all, a purity of taste and structure. The black fruits have waves and cross-currents of flavour and texture, the finish long and balanced. Screwcap. 14.2% alc. Drink: To 2051 $50"

"Heartland stuff here, but seems to generally find great balance and a sense of freshness. No slouch here. I wasn’t really feeling anything remotely like Barossa shiraz today, but something short-fused in my brain and I ended up with a hearty glass of this in front of a movie, feeling quite satisfied, indeed. This is a cracking release of this wine, more svelte than I can recall, yet still holding richness and flavour.
Quite a compact feel in the palate with fine, feathery tannins a feature. It’s still got lashings of clove spice, pencil shavings, tobacco, but the real deal is the currant-cherry fruit flavours and a distinct lick of liquorice. It’s not a huge wine but it makes its presence known with bold aromas and flavours with the finish a neat smudge of additional chewy tannin. I like the vibe; it’s a bit more elegant than expected though it has a sense of lushness too."
