Lou Miranda Estate Old Vine Shiraz Mataro 2018
- Rich, full-bodied
- Barossa Valley
Talk about ageing gracefully, this old vine number from Mofo fave producers Lou Miranda will absolutely knock your socks off. How old we hear you asking? The Mirandas pulled the mataro off bush vines that are a steady 120 years old, and the shiraz from vines that are planted in 2005. One look at them and you’d think them too gnarly to produce such elegant and eloquent wines, but the proof is truly in the pudding. The plump, luscious and fabulously opulent shiraz fruit is set off against the ferociously concentrated, infinitely layered mataro. A Black Forest gateau of fruity flavour sings against characteristically medicinal mataro, giving a gorgeously nuanced wine of incredible depth. This has certainly got our tails wagging.

Producer
Lou Miranda Estate
Inspired by his Southern Italian upbringing, Lou Miranda believed that an exceptional wine should always be valued as much as a loving family and good friends. So in 2005 he established his eponymous winery in the Barossa Valley, with the help and support of his wife and two daughters, Lisa and Victoria. With an objective to 'create a unique wine experience combining traditional family elements and world-class wine making techniques', from the selection of first-class fruit to disciplined vineyard management and winemaking techniques, Lou Miranda are a force to be reckoned with.
Region
Barossa Valley
'Barossa Valley'. This is Australia's key wine brand overseas, in the US especially. It's our riposte to 'Champagne', 'Scotch' and 'Barolo'. My mind conjures these images, in this order: Shiraz, Penfolds wine, Maggie Beer condiments. All of which can GET - IN - MY - BELLY! But there is so much more to the Barossa than first glance. There are fringe (and not so fringe) winemakers actively working to classify the valley's subregions, and this is a very worthy cause. From Moppa to Seppeltsfield to Marananga there's a lot of variation, and the styles produced can vary immensely. This is the next step in the vision of this region (which, let's face it, is a baby in the scheme of things), as it gets acquainted with its strengths, weaknesses and future opportunities.It's a region that's not sorry to produce the big, fruit-driven wine styles that make it so popular. So drink to the future of the Barossa, because it's as bright as any other region on the world stage.
