Château Tanunda 50 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2023 from Barossa Valley’s ancient Marananga and Light Pass blocks roars with opaque purple density and old vine concentration, hand-crafted in small open fermenters then matured 18 months in American oak for plush power, silky tannins and profound Barossa character that demands patient cellaring.

Raspberries, blackberries, truffles, plums and leather explode aromatically with cocoa powder richness, while the full-bodied palate surges with dark berries, soy, beef stock savouriness and fine velvety grip that builds to an extravagantly long, focused finish. Château Tanunda’s 50 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2023 marries opulence with precision.

Decant for slow-roasted beef ribs, venison with blackberry or truffle salami platters to mirror those earthy fruit depths. It crushes kangaroo fillets or aged cheddar with plum paste. Grab this 95-point old vine Shiraz 2023 now – peak drinking 2028-2038 for ultimate gratification.
