2021 Barossa Boy Double Trouble Shiraz Cabernet 750ml

Trent Burge grew up a keen cricketer and footballer, revelling in the camaraderie and competition of local teams. He followed this passion to England, spending several years playing seasons of cricket and returning home to work Barossa vintage. Double Trouble blends two outstanding regional varieties in tribute to the boy’s time in this ‘double life’ of one endless summer.

Shiraz Cabernet is the classic Australian wine duo, boldly generous yet approachable. To bring out the best from the Barossa region, we combine valley-floor Shiraz with cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon, from a family-owned vineyard in neighbouring Eden Valley.

Barossa Boy Double Trouble salutes teammates, on the field and in the vineyard. Created for sharing.

TASTING NOTES

Intense lifted aromas of red currant fruit with hints of spearmint, cedar and dark chocolate.

A juicy palate where rich fruit intertwines with fine chalky, well-balanced tannins. This traditional blend of varieties produces a seamless wine.

Pair with a Greek mezze platter, roast lamb, and potato gratin.

VINTAGE SUMMARY

High Winter rainfall preceded a warm November and December, resulting in healthy vine canopies and early flowering.

Annual rainfall was less than the long-term average. Timely rain and an Indian Summer slowed down the pace of ripening allowing flavours and Baume’s to develop. The resulting harvest was a good, healthy yield with high-quality fruit. Bunches with small berries of intense flavour and colour, along with excellent tannins and natural acidity.
