The Gander represents the pinnacle of our winemaking aspirations.  A grand marque Barossa Valley Shiraz in the classic mode, crafted from the highest classification of fruit grown in our estate vineyards.

The wine is almost black in glass such is the concentration and intensity of the character of this wine. On the nose there is an alluring bouquet of violets, black cherry, blueberry compote, black plums and Christmas spice. The palate is resplendent with rich black plum, black currant, olive tapenade flavours and nuances of cedar and vanilla from new French oak cellar maturation for 24 months. Dusty mouth-coating tannins envelop the fruit core, providing length and definition.
 
A wine that will reward long-term cellaring of 20 -25 years.


Reviews

“Hand-picked, open-fermented, matured in French barriques (50% new) for 24 months, then a barrel selection. The colour is deep crimson-purple, the bouquet with sultry black fruits (mainly berry but some currant), licorice and plum. The term ˜mouth filling' is usually a good one for a palpably luscious and generous wine, here The Gander takes possession of the word, denying its use by any other full-bodied red wine.”

“Black olives and redcurrants - a complex nose to match a wine that shouldn't look so purple fresh in the glass. Hoisin and plum sauce emerge as the wine is swirled. It's built to outlast time, without structure or tannin. A unique expression of the Barossa.”

95 points, Nick Butler – The Real Review
