Stuart McCloskey, tasted 19 May 2025 "This is drenched with liquorice, raspberry, woody spice notes, salted plum, bramble jelly, sage, and white pepper. Beautiful florals emerge once the wine settles down (from all the swirling) as does orange zest. The palate is packed with goodness, power (without being OTT), and amazing density. Flavours and the palate-feel run wide and deep. Salted plum, blackcurrant, musk, sweet spice, cinnamon, a herbal character, a smidgeon of hyssop along with a zip of orange zest provides a wine packed with personality – a wine that doesn’t follow a recipe or style. The tempo, the style and the flavours are dictated by mother nature, which I like very much. The wine's pedigree is on-show and represents premium Barossa GSM with consummate ease. Drink now to 2030."

Grant Burge

The story of Grant Burge is one of the past, the present, and the future…

We are thrilled to offer a collection of cellared treasures direct from the producer including the full ‘Icon’ suite. 

 

Abednego

Langton’s – Australia’s famous wine auction house, “Grant Burge’s other ‘icon’ wines include the rather classical, indeed brilliant Abednego Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre. This has almost no presence on the market which must say something for its immediate approachability.”

 

Meshach

It is no exaggeration to say that there are few people in the world who understand Australian wine better than Andrew Caillard MW who penned, “It is Grant Burge’s Meshach Shiraz that has played no small part in the ascendancy of the Barossa Shiraz vernacular. This wine brings utterly sublime vineyard resources, marketing imagination and accessibility to the fine wine consumer. While it is pricey, it’s also fair. It generally offers a much better bang to your buck than many over-hyped cult type Shirazes. The fruit is sourced from the 100-year-old Filsell vineyard planted on deep alluvial soils near Lyndoch. The vineyard is triaged on optimum ripeness and flavour development. This is often around 14 degrees Baume. The wine is vinified in open headed down fermenters at warm temperatures. Towards dryness, the wine is drained and pressed, completing fermentation in mostly new American oak hogsheads. Meshach is a highly concentrated and generous Barossa style with a ripe, dense palate packed with fruit, pronounced tannins and supported by American oak. Meshach is already highly regarded for its potential lo... Read morengevity and structure. Meshach has evolved as something of a secondary wine market staple. If Grange is a market indicator Meshach is something of a market backstop in the same way as Penfolds Bin 707 or Henschke Mount Edelstone. Grant Burge’s other ‘icon’ wines include the plush but erratic secondary market performing Shadrach Cabernet Sauvignon and the rather classical, indeed brilliant Abednego Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre. The latter has almost no presence on the market which must say something for its immediate approachability.”
