Sorby Adams The Vicar of Toft Shiraz 2022

Behind the wine is Simon Sorby Adams, carrying the legacy of four generations of winemaking heritage, dating back to Reverend Augustus Crichton Adams, 'The Vicar', and Anne Sorby. With a name steeped in tradition and a wine packed with pedigree, this is a Barossa Shiraz that commands attention. This is pure Barossa power, an unapologetically bold Shiraz from the northern grounds of the region, where the fruit grows darker, richer, and more intense. It opens with a heady mix of ripe black fruits, spiced plum and dark chocolate. As the wine opens up, it's all about concentration: blackcurrant, cocoa and vanilla stacked on top of exotic spice and firm, muscular tannins. Aged for 36 months in premium French oak (half of it new, from tight-grain Francois Frere and Taransaud hogsheads), it’s got serious structure and finesse beneath all that fruit weight. Full-bodied, finely tuned and built for the long haul - this is one to cellar confidently through to 2037.
