Deep red with a purple hue. Aromas of black accent fruits like blackberry, juniper, charcutierie and notes of coal dust and aromatic black pepper. Medium to full bodied in weight. Saturates the palate like only a Barossa Shiraz can. Plenty of bounce and energy across the palate with aromatic notes of dried flower, black peppercorns and a good dose of Barossa preserved meats.
This wine holds a special place of pride in South Australia. It's present brilliant form stands in sharp contrast to the 1980s when Grenache, Mourvèdre and Shiraz vines were being uprooted removed due to a lack of demand. Brave Faces is a tribute to the men and women that loyally tended their vineyards, allowing them to remain intact today. And this GMS blend proves just why this tribute is more than deserving. Barossa's terroir nurtures the three grapes towards near perfect ripeness and full flavours following which the fruit is crushed and the juice fermented separately before being blended and put under French oak for six months. This fine Aussie take on the classic Rhone Valley blend beams with cherry, herbs and touch of pepper, finishing impressively long.
