Thomson Estate W & J Shiraz 2018 (12 x 750mL) Clare Valley, SA

Description:

WINEMAKING

Vintage 2018 in Clare was exceptional in quality with the warm, dry weather helping produce intense colour and flavours.

With just over 18 hectares, or around 43 acres of Shiraz, our estate grown fruit shone in these conditions showing richness and concentration. Stored in aged French barrels, and bottled with minimal filtration, the result is a true expression of Shiraz from the Clare Valley region.

In 1838 Walter Thomson, with wife Jane, arrived in Australia and established a winemaking tradition. Faithful to his approach, our estate grown parcels are carefully tended by our vignerons to create wines of great intensity.

Set in the northern range of the cool and picturesque Clare Valley, the high altitude provides finesse and delicate power to our mature vines.

An upfront bouquet of mulberry, blackberry and cherry.

The Palate is alive with plush varietal Shiraz, showing intense spices of white and black pepper, cinnamon, and Star anise. Finishing with firm tight tannins and long lively palate. Good to pair with beer glazed lamb fillet, crispy chilli beef and fresh Asian vegetables.

Grays Tasting Panel Review

Cassis, jam and intense spices of white and black pepper, cinnamon. The palate brings with it blackcurrant jam. Distinct but well balanced tannins and acidity.

Winery Profile

Brand Profile Image

Experienced wine exporters, vignerons and domestic wine sellers. The Byrne difference is quality focused, innovative and estate grown wines from grape to glass.

Celebrating 60 years and 4 generations, the Byrne family range of wines express our dedication to sustainability and land regeneration practices, with our ethos to minimise harm and maximise benefits to the environment.

From the banks of the Murray River in which our vineyard grows, our prized estate wines reflect the love that goes into our land, delivering richness and complexity into each glass.

It all began almost half a century ago when the first vines were planted in a spot handpicked for its stony soils over the limestone base. Combine that with the warm embrace of a dry climate and generous sunshine, and you have the perfect recipe for grape varieties bursting with flavour and resilience.
