Chateau Yaldara 1847 Grand Pappy's Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
As Decanter notes, “The Barossa is a special place for Shiraz. At its best, few regions come close (with any grape variety) in matching the fruit quality, layers of complex flavours, depth and richness.”
Chateau Yaldara is one of the region’s oldest estates, first converted from a flour mill into a winery in 1891. The magnificent chateau itself arrived much later, built in 1967, and it remains one of the Barossa’s most recognisable landmarks.
The 1847 Grand Pappy's Barossa Valley Shiraz is the estate’s top release. Wine critic Ray Jordan gives it an outstanding 97 points, calling it “a powerhouse of opulence and concentration … with blackcurrant and spicy plum, liquorice and dark syrup chocolate”.
This benchmark Aussie Shiraz is drinking well now but will reward cellaring for up to two decades. For best results, decant and serve with rich, slow-braised beef, chargrilled lamb cutlets or a mushroom and black pepper pie.
