Chateau Yaldara 1847 Grand Pappy's Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017

When it comes to the quality and price ($320 a bottle!) of this outstanding Shiraz, the term Super Premium is an understatement. The story of this winery began in, you guessed it, 1847. After the proclamation of a land grant by the Governor for the historic Rowland Flat property, Bavarian immigrant Johann Gramp planted what was the first commercial vineyard in the Barossa Valley. 1847 winery now encompasses some 200 acres of premium estate vineyards. “… red cherries, greengage plums and a hint of black pepper….. 95pts”(Halliday Wine Companion, Tyson Stelzer).
