Description:

94 Points Wine Advocate: According to co-winemakers Matt Gant and John Retsas, the Seppeltsfield Shiraz grown on clay and limestone soils tends to produce a more structured Shiraz. The 2008 Seppeltsfield Shiraz was aged for 24 months in 30% new American oak with the remainder being seasoned French. Very deep garnet-purple in color, it gives wonderfully fragrant warm black cherry, rose petal and violet scents over dark chocolate, violets, some bacon fat, game and touch of mincemeat. Very crisp, rich and tight knit in the mouth, it has a high level of grainy tannins and tons of fruit going long and savory / meaty in the finish.

 

Unbelievable Shiraz

Most of my small wine cellar collection is Shiraz/Syrah. First Drop is better than any wine I have ever ordered. After the first bottle, I placed a second order and will add wines from Fat of the Land to my "must have" list. It is awesome......Try it.

Notes on the First Drop Fat Of The Land Shiraz 750ML 2008

Tasting Notes A muscular brooding expression of Barossa Shiraz, it’s flavour packed with kirsch, dark chocolate and liquorice. This wine has been matured in 30% new American oak barriques for 24 months to further enhance its inherent structure. Built for aging not for speed, have another look at this bruiser in 5 to 8 years time.

Wine Maker Notes The Barossa is an amazing place with a diverse history from which a great community has grown living off the Fat of the Land. Famed for its Shiraz vineyards, some dating back to the 19th century, the wines from this small, but proud region are as unique and divergent as its history and community. One can make such varied expressions of Shiraz, due to the different meso-climates of district, the elevation range, and the myriad of soil types that are to be found throughout the Barossa. The Fat of the Land series seeks to showcase the districts of the Barossa, and the contrasting styles of Shiraz that can be made here.
