Everest Shiraz

The Everest Shiraz is the pinnacle of winemaking at Chateau Tanunda – Only released in small quantities and in truly great vintages, Quite simply one of the finest examples of Barossan Shiraz.

Dense ruby colour, with an intense, enticing nose of rich, red berry fruits and subtle French oak. The wine is incredibly dense and focussed with a richness and purity that simply exudes top class Barossa Shiraz. Rich dark chocolate, mocha and cedar spice are all to the fore but the central core is highly focussed. Supple tannins from the gentle press merely complement the fruit, silky and rich yet impressively interwoven into the wine. The fruit/ acid balance ensures excellent length and provides a purity of structure for long term ageing.
The Everest wines won two of the major trophies at the 2010 International Wine & Spirit Competition:
2005 The Everest Shiraz – ‘Best Shiraz in the World’ – Trophy for best International Syrah/ Shiraz
2008 The Everest Grenache – Trophy best single vineyard red wine.
