2014 Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 750ml

2014 Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 750mlMeshach William Burge was Grant great grandfather and was a central figure in establishing the Burge family in the Barossa Valley. This Shiraz named in his honour is sourced from old vines, some nearing 100 years old, and shows aromas and flavours of complex swiss chocolate, savoury spices and red currant. Grant Burge flagship shiraz will reward the patient cellarer with 20 years in the bottle in front of it. Vineyard notes: "The fruit for this wine
