THOMAS GOSS SHIRAZ 2021

Named after pioneer farmer and landholder of note, Thomas Goss, this label has won over many Aussie Shiraz fans.

We could describe this label as a bit of a 'sleeper', quietly gaining a loyal following with people loving the generous, warming character and flavours of the wine. This new release 2021 vintage steps that up a bit more, ticking plenty of boxes – very deep dark colour, flavour packed palate hinting of plum fruit, cocoa powder that almost feels silky, velvety with the warmth of 14.5% alcohol but balanced out by a fine layer of tannins on the back. Very satisfying. 

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"This wine is rich and generously loaded with vibrant plum, black fruits, mocha and spice on the palate. Subtle French oak adds layers and complexity and the wine has great length with soft tannins. The finish is long lasting, delicious, dense and fruit packed.

A pioneer farmer and landholder of note, Thomas Goss, his wife Mary and their children arrived in South Australia from Devonshire in 1849. After success in the Victorian gold fields he acquired sections of farming land between McLaren Vale and Willunga which are now home to some of the region’s leading vineyards."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Beautifully ripe and inviting on the nose showing blackberry, rich floral, thyme and roasted almond characters. The palate is equally satisfying with succulent fruit intensity together with rounded mouthfeel and fine tannins, finishing wonderfully long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2031."

5 Stars Angie Atkinson, The Wine Writer (2021 Vintage)
"Generous on the nose and palate with cassis, ripe boysenberry, and blackberry notes. Lovely anise and hints of dark spice with a lovely soft, plush texture and the silky tannins and juicy fruit finish make you want to take another sip. A delicious wine!"
