The 2023 Turkey Flat Shiraz is a classic Barossa Valley Shiraz that reflects the estate's long-standing reputation for producing balanced, site-driven wines. Sourced from a combination of mature vineyards, this vintage opens with lifted aromas of blackberry, dark plum and blueberry, complemented by notes of black pepper, liquorice, baking spice and a subtle hint of dark chocolate.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet beautifully composed, with fine-grained tannins, bright natural acidity and impressive depth of flavour. Ripe black fruits are layered with savoury spice, mocha and gentle oak nuances, creating richness without excessive weight. The finish is long, smooth and persistent, showcasing the balance and elegance that have become hallmarks of Turkey Flat's Barossa Shiraz.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, the 2023 Turkey Flat Shiraz is an excellent choice for those seeking a classic Barossa Shiraz with concentration, freshness and refined structure. It pairs beautifully with chargrilled rib-eye steak, slow-roasted lamb shoulder, beef brisket, barbecued pork ribs or mature hard cheeses. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar confidently over the next 10–15 years as it develops additional savoury complexity and depth.
