The well-made 2022 Shiraz Koonunga SR807 will please Barossa fans thanks to its rich mix of ripe, generous fruits, a solid core of musky plums and mulberry and touches of clove spice. Satin textures are moreish, and a bright mix of flavors is supported by well-integrated yet chunky tannins. It is already drinking well but will hold. Angus Hughson Vinous Magazine 92 Points

2022 Koonunga Shiraz SR807
Vineyard Notes
Grapes were sourced from Becker Vineyard in the Koonunga sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Four generations of the Becker Family owned the small vineyard until it was recently purchased by the Hoffmann family. The vineyard is sited on deeper loam soils over red clays that follow a small creek that runs through the property.
Winemaking
The grapes were fermented in small batches and after fermentation was matured in 50% new French oak for 18 months prior to bottling. Minimal intervention is used in the winemaking process and the wine is moved the minimal times prior to bottling and is not cold stabilised or filtered.
