2021 Kurtz Boundary Row Shiraz, Barossa Valley

Boundary Row Shiraz was sourced entirely from the Kurtz Family Vineyard in the Light Pass subregion of the Barossa Valley. The vines received minimal or no irrigation and were pruned for low yields to provide vine balance and maximise fruit quality and varietal character.

Deep purple-red. A distinctive regional nose of blackberry, blueberry, red plums and dark chocolate, with complex savoury notes of black olive, fresh coffee and warm spices layered with fine oak aromatics. The palate is rich and generous, with juicy dark-berry and plum flavours, complex earthy notes, mocha and spice. A smooth, textural mouthfeel is pulled together with a structural backbone that lengthens the palate with lingering fruit flavours, chocolately tannins and notes of cedary oak.

While suitable for current consumption, further medium term cellaring will be rewarded. I highly recommend that this wine be decanted prior to serving. Boundary Row Shiraz is a great match with grilled, pan-fried or roasted meats, and full-flavoured dishes.
