“Dark and inky in the glass. Brooding aromas of stewed plum, dried herbs, mulberry, anise and spice. Voluminous on the palate, dark and juicy with licorice, bramble and sweet oak. There's balance here though, via grainy textured tannins and bright, punchy acidity. Opulent and smart value. ” The Real Review 92 Points
Plenty of flavour, spice and intrigue keep you coming back to this impressive wine.
Tasting Notes from the winery for Battle of Bosworth Shiraz 2021
VINTAGE
WINEMAKING
We pick the grapes on flavour and sugar ripeness, then crush them and pump into small open fermenters where they ferment gently whilst undergoing twice daily pump overs. (We drain off the juice and then pump it over the ‘cap’ of grape skins, to gently draw out colour, flavour and tannins.).
Once just about through ferment, we gently pump the wine into oak barrels (a mixture of older, and roughly 30% new French) and let the wine finish ferment in them. It then spends just under12 months in oak maturing before bottling.
The Battle of Bosworth Shiraz is a crowd pleaser – not too much oak, not too heavily extracted, not too alcoholic. Just a wonderful medium bodied representation of McLaren Vale’s most widely planted variety.

James Suckling
Aromas of crushed plums, redcurrants, cooking spice and garden herbs. Medium- to full-bodied with slightly chewy tannins. Pleasantly deep without being rich. Rather defined and refreshing. www.jamesuckling.com
