WINE DESCRIPTION

Bremerton Old Adam Shiraz is produced by Bremerton Wines, a family-owned winery located in Langhorne Creek, South Australia. Langhorne Creek is not as widely known as some other regions in South Australia, such as the Barossa Valley but its fruit has a long history of being a key component in many of Australia's award-winning multi-regional blends. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the estate's oldest Shiraz vines, which are grown in the region's unique maritime climate and sandy loam soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best fruit, fermentation in small batches, and long aging in French oak barrels for months. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Shiraz with rich flavors of dark fruit, spice, and smoke, balanced by firm tannins and a long finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This is a big wine.Yet, despite its full body and firm tannins, the fruit shows a remarkable degree of freshness with precisely defined flavors of blackberry, blueberry, fig, and olive. This makes for a lighter style than the traditional jammy Australian Shiraz wines that can be enjoyed on its own for its purity in addition to accompanying beef and lamb dishes and family BBQs. Drink now or over the next 10 years.
