A robust Australian red from two certified Masters of Wine. Nine months in French oak barrels developed notes of smoke and cocoa balanced by fresh, vibrant fruit in this young Shiraz. Named in honor of James Busby, the father of Australian wines, the Shiraz is a bold, full bodied red that is a quintessential South Eastern Australian wine. South Australia has warm days and cool nights which is closer to the weather in Napa than in the nearby Outback. The longer growing season means that grapes ripen slowly and evenly resulting in a more nuanced and robust final product. The Busby’s Treaty 2016 Shiraz is both of those things. It is complex with moderate acidity, and has a velvety mouthfeel that is a perfect complement to hearty cuisine; our favorite way to enjoy it is alongside a rich beef bolognese. Winemakers Winemaking for this bottle was overseen by the superstar team of Peter Leske, Giles Cooke MW, and Fergal Tynan MW.
