The story of Grant Burge Miamba Shiraz 750

The Miamba vineyard sits at the southern end of the Barossa Valley, near Lyndoch, and the wine takes its name from it. Grant Burge bought the site in 1983 when it was completely bare, and today it covers 150 acres. The southern Barossa gets more rainfall than much of the valley, so the vines are less stressed and the fruit leans towards red berry character rather than big plummy weight.

The winemaking team, led by chief winemaker Craig Stansborough, treats that fruit with a light hand, preferring to polish and shape it in the winery rather than manipulate it heavily.

Recent releases show dark cherry, blackcurrant and blueberry with sweet dark chocolate and mocha, fine tannins and a long finish. The alcohol sits around 14.5%, and the winery gives it five to ten years of peak drinking. Its suggested match is barbecued or roasted beef, or a roast goat or venison pie.
