Chateau Yaldara 1847 First Pick 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 and most famous 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 founder was Herman Thumm, who was sent over to Australia during WW2 and, inspired by a stint working at a winery near Lyndoch, he founded today’s winery in the late 1940s.
First Pick is their superb, flagship Shiraz made in very small quantities. Wine Pilot rated it 97 points, describing it as “Exquisite. This is what modern Barossa Shiraz is all about.”
