The Everest Shiraz 2022
$450.00 / bottle
‘The Everest’ is the pinnacle of Château Tanunda’s wine making philosophy, it represents the ultimate Barossa Shiraz can achieve from the world’s most renowned Shiraz producing region. Uncompromising quality defines this wine, crafted from ultra-quality grapes, hand-picked, basket pressed and neither fined nor filtered and matured in superior French oak barrels. These wines are afforded the utmost attention and craftsmanship in the winery. The Everest is the peak of Barossa winemaking.
The Everest Shiraz 2022 is a dense ruby colour with an intense, enticing nose of rich, red berry fruits and subtle French oak. The wine is incredibly dense and focused 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 focused. 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.
Only the very best grapes are selected from individual vineyard blocks in exceptional vintages. Hand-picked, hand-sorted to 1 ton open fermenters with regular hand-plunging and careful basket pressing. The highest quality parcels from this year’s fermented wines are set aside for 18 months of maturation in the finest French oak.
Once bottled the wine spends a further 24 months maturing in our cellars before release.

Deep crimson. Deep blackberry, roasted chestnut spice, wax polish liquorice aromas.
Richly flavoured blackberry panforte liquorice, mocha ginger flavours, chocolaty
textures, lovely mid-palate richness and well-integrated crunchy acidity. Should
develop really well. Drink 2028–2044
