2023 Izway Bruce Shiraz

The Bruce was the first wine Izway produced and since it’s inception in 2003 it has always been unashamedly Barossan with rich fruit, power, depth, texture and structure all hallmarks of this outstanding wine. Fruit was sourced from four different Barossa Valley vineyards located in the sub districts of Koonunga Hill, Ebenezer, Molculta and Moppa with vines varying in age between 31 to 131 years old.

An absolute showstopper that takes hedonism to a whole new level.

Magnificent glass staining colour featuring an impenetrable inky black heart along with an equally deep dark red black hue. Commanding aromas of dark plum, liquorice, blackberry and fennel are delivered with terrific potency, notions of smoky vanillin cedar, earth and peppered dried herbs leaning in for further complexity. Rich, incredibly dense and voluptuous, every corner of the mouth is engulfed by a super concentrate of dark plum, liquorice and blackberry fruits which are infused with smoky fennel elements. Dark chocolate, dried herb and peppered earth characters unfold across the expansive back half. Despite it’s overwhelming opulence, it shows ample focus and possesses silky smooth yet structured tannins. Enormously powerful and explosive, it finishes with prodigious length.
Drink over the next 6-8 years.
