Chateau Tanunda Grand Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
G 91
Cabernet for this delicious and richly flavoured red is sourced from all around the Barossa. The wine spends a year and a half maturing in a mix of older and new French barrels. The colour here is an opaque maroon. The nose gives us chocolate notes but also strong dried herbs as a basis. We have tobacco leaves, aniseed and black olives as well. Showing good intensity, this is a wine of medium length with a line of fine acidity with quite fine tannins. This is a wine for enjoying over the next
four to eight years. Drink now–2032 Château Tanunda Grand Barossa Shiraz 2023

The team at Tanunda have established this wine as an ever-reliable fine Barossa red, representing fine value. The colour is deep crimson, while the nose exhibits attractive notes of red cherries, strawberries, orange rinds, delicatessen meats and florals. A supple texture, yet there is a fine line of acidity running the journey. A wine of medium length which should drink well for the next six to eight years.

It was bottled a few months later. The team (read Zar) describe this as ‘bottled romance’. For those of us still tethered to Planet Earth, it is a very fine Roussanne, worth drinking. A green/gold colour, there is good intensity here and it does deliver honeycomb notes. There are tropical characters and stone fruits, peaches and a whiff of passionfruit. A wine of medium length, it has balance and maintains that intensity. An attractive proposition for enjoying over the next three to four years. Drink now–2028
