Description
Since 1912 the Osborne family have tended vineyards in the McLaren Vale. These days all Estate owned & select growers vineyards are certified organic & biodynamic. The current family winemaker/caretaker of this generational wine producer is Chester Osborne, who has been awarded Australian winemaker of the year on multiple occasions. For this Footbolt Shiraz… small batches are hand-harvested, with over a half of the harvest being traditionally foot trodden to gently extract fine tannins, the combined harvest is then crushed in a traditional basket press. Add to that, 12-18 months of ageing in a mix of quality French and American oak, and you have a very seriously made Shiraz! Considering such labour-intensive handling and management of the vineyards, traditional foot treading and basket pressing of the grapes and generous use of oak… “The Footbolt” is seriously underpriced and seriously overdelivers on quality, character & style.
Smells
Complex aromas of blackstrap liquorice, clove, nutmeg, dark berries, plums, and spicy oak.
Tastes
A luxurious feel in the mouth, as a velvety mix of dark fruits, toasty oak, spices, chocolate, savoury elements, and liquorice unravel. The tannins are very fine and caressing… a Shiraz with substance and elegance and a cocoa powder-like texture. Seriously delicious, it over-delivers on price and will be superb drinking now through 2027. Serve with BBQed or roasted meats. For optimal drinking pleasure serve at 16-17 degrees.
We taste, rate & guarantee every wine we sell.
