Lights Valley Barossa Shiraz Magnum 2021

Take home a 1.5l Magnum of a Gold-medal, 94pt Single Vineyard Shiraz from the excellent 2021 vintage. This very impressive and satisfying Shiraz is made using fruit from a low yielding vineyard in the north-west of the region. It is “Sweetly fruited and immediately appealing, the fragrant bouquet shows dark plum, cherry, clove and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a wonderfully flavoursome palate offering succulent fruit intensity backed by finely infused tannins. Opulent and delectably expressed, making it fabulously drinkable. 94pts”(Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). “A low-yielding, single vineyard provides the fruit for this fine Barossa Shiraz with twelve days skin contact before 18 months maturation, blending, and a further six months in oak. Dark purple, this is a more generous offering. Open, approachable and appealing, it is ripe with black fruits, coffee beans, chocolate and a hint of tar. Really silky tannins here and excellent length. This has a good ten to twelve years ahead of it. An impressive Barossa Shiraz. Love it. 94pts” (WinePilot). Lights Valley wines commemorate Colonel William Light and his discovery and naming of Barossa Valley in 1837. Barossa Valley was named in memory of the British victory over the French in the Battle of Barrosa in 1811. However, due to clerical error the valley was misspelt Barossa.
