Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 1998
Astonishing Barossa shiraz of rare silkiness and style, especially from the 1998 vintage. Its penetrative and unusually floral fragrance of pure cassis, redcurrants and raspberries is complemented by spicy mocha and chocolate oak and a background of bitumen, leather and jam. Laced with exotic spices and musk, the palate is as long as it is velvet-smooth, presenting pure, pristine sour-edged plum and cassis flavour, tightly knit with superbly fine tannins. Wonderful balance, poise and fineness.

Winery
Grant Burge
Since 2015 the Grant Burge label has been part of the Accolade Wines stable. A well-known Barossa brand with a collection of well-known reds headed by the Meshach Shiraz, it has become rather more expensive over recent years during which tie it has struggled to maintain consistency and quality.
