Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa vigneron and winemaker. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons.

56.4/43.1/0.7% cabernet sauvignon/ shiraz/other, from vines aged 20–120 yo. Matured 18 months in 18% new French oak hogsheads, then barrel selected. One of the most exciting modern additions to the extensive Grant Burge portfolio, a cracking rendition that epitomises the integrity and endurance of the great Australian blend in the Barossa. Impenetrable in depth and vibrant in hue, contrasting blackcurrant and blackberry fruit density and a crunch of vibrant energy. Super-fine, commanding tannins, great fruit drive and high-class French oak make for impressive potential.

Very deep, bright red/purple colour, with a concentrated cassis, blackberry aroma, which hints at rather than shouts cabernet. The palate is deliciously fruit-sweet, the cassisy cabernet very evident, together with mouth-coating tannins. Earthy, mineral, graphite nuances. An emphatic finish and very long aftertaste. A statuesque wine with a big future. Cellaring recommended. Drink: 2023 to 2041; Price: $100.00; Alcohol: 14.5%; Rating: 96 Points; Huon Hooke; The Real Review
