Bud Burst Shiraz 2022 from Paynes Rise Wines in Barossa Valley thunders with ironstone power and dark fruit seduction, a benchmark single-vineyard Shiraz that captures ancient sandy loam and valley warmth in every impenetrable black-purple pour.

The nose surges with blackberry jam, blood plum pastille and white pepper in Bud Burst Shiraz 2022, laced with smoked meats, dark chocolate, cloves and savoury earth – palate roars with concentrated dark fruits, velvety polished tannins and vibrant acid spine that commands every sip.

Decant for charcoal-grilled scotch fillet, slow-braised beef cheeks, pepper-crusted kangaroo or wild mushroom Wellington – this trophy Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 delivers restaurant pedigree and instant gratification.
