This is a new release for BVE and pays tribute to the famous local brass band that played on the BVE property from 1927 to 1938. The band's most treasured instrument was the Circular E-Flat Bass. This rich full flavoured Shiraz honours the rich cultural history of the Barossa.

$20 & Under - An all-Barossan hero here with warm and generous cherry and lum fruit flavours, a touch of summer-heated earth and forest, and a faint oak backdrop. All present and correct, very friendly and full of value and pleasure.

Best Wines of 2010 Shiraz blends. Excellent wine! Soft and mature, yet still has vibrancy and freshness. Lovely spicy fruit, long, soft tannins and clever balance of oak, with the addition of leathery/tobacco complexity.
