Chteau Tanunda 1890 Geber

The Old Cooperage Chteau Tanunda A.P. John Coopers John Barossa 1890 Shiraz Mataro

Barossa

Shiraz, Mataro (Mourvdre)

Chteau Tanunda was established in 1890 and is the site of the very first vines planted in the Barossa in the 1840s. The Chateau is a heritage icon, the grand buildings, magnificent gardens and vineyards are owned by the Geber family who continue the century old tradition of fine winemaking.
The Old Cooperage celebrates the historic relationship between Chteau Tanunda and A.P. John Coopers. Four generations of the John family have worked in coopering in the Barossa and still provide to the Chteau.
In homage to this long standing association it was also felt we should use some of the original grape varieties which would have been around in the 1890s. A backbone of Shiraz has been chosen but the real inspiration and unique power of the blend lies with the Mataro.

Tasting Notes:
Deep purple-black the 2010 The Old Cooperage Barossa Shiraz Mataro has aromas of black plums, pepper, damp loam, olives and truffles. Full bodied and with a good amount of mid-palate fruit, it has refreshing acidity and a medium level of grainy tannins, finishing long.
