Barossa Valley Wine Company is a Barossa-based producer with strong ties to the region's growers, sourcing from established blocks across the iconic sub-regions of the valley. The Ironclad Shiraz is part of the company's hand-crafted line of premium Barossa reds, made in a style designed to showcase the depth, fruit weight and warm spice that define the region's most celebrated grape.
The fruit is vinified to express the generosity of warm-climate Shiraz, with extended maceration for colour and tannin development followed by oak maturation that adds spice and structure without overshadowing the fruit core.
The wine pours a deep, opaque crimson, with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum and dark cherry layered with mocha, baking spice and a hint of leather. The palate is full bodied and richly textured, with velvety tannins, savoury earth and a lingering finish of dark fruit and cedary oak.
