Turkey Flat Single Vineyard Stonewell Shiraz

Turkey Flat Single Vineyard Stonewell Shiraz 2024 is a powerful, concentrated Barossa Valley red from the Stonewell Vineyard on Seppeltsfield Road. Matured in French oak, 45% new, it combines deep, dark fruit with substantial tannins, balancing its imposing scale with a sleek, composed texture.

Blackberry and plum lead the fruit profile, lifted by fragrant red rose and musk. Dark chocolate, roasted peppercorn, saltbush and earthy, asphalt-like notes add savoury complexity. The palate is dense and generously flavoured, with firm, dry tannins giving the fruit a commanding framework without sacrificing balance.

Suggested pairings include chargrilled rib-eye, slow-braised beef cheeks or rosemary-roasted lamb shoulder. Its concentration and tannin structure suggest cellaring potential, although a verified drinking window was not available. If opening young, decant before serving to give its fruit and floral detail time to emerge.
