2025 Bosward Shiraz

Shiraz is the wool clip of Australian wine farming. Barossa being pre-eminent. Bosward family is lucky to be here. Barossa is enigmatic in its ability to adopt any variety and transcend generations. It is literally an agricultural paradise. With shiraz vines aged at nearly 180 years, pre-dating the French, and heritage cuttings being transported back to Europe, we are the natural home for this grape. We own it. We are the old world.

With some of the most diverse and oldest soils on the planet, styles, naturally are vast. The 2025 Bosward Shiraz, is a look into a modern future. Old oak maturation has revealed a brighter more fruit orientated expression of Shiraz, freshness released and not encumbered with distracting oak aromas and flavour. Early picking and bottling have exposed another dimension of this diverse grape.

A drought in winter has influenced the style we make. 2025 yielded small crops with highly concentrated flavours. Colour is saturated. Aromas of blackberry, blood plum and liqueur cherry are intense and brooding in the glass, released in ribbons. Riper and darker fruit flavours are interlaced with sinuous yet slinky tannin. Although a drink early proposition, the 2025 shiraz will age well in the medium term.
