Ep 264: Barossa, Australia
Barossa is one of the most historic, fascinating places in the new world. Winemaking started with German immigrants in 1840 and there have been ups and downs in the industry since. What hasn’t changed: there has always been a small cadre of winemakers here that have made outstanding fascinating Shiraz and Riesling. We dig into the history of the region, talk about its wines and give you another region in Australia to seek out.
We start with an overview of the Barossa:
56 km/35 miles northeast of Adelaide, 34°S Winemaking began in 1842 550 grape growing families, many with 6thgeneration still working the land Dominated by valley floors and rolling hills, with high altitudes (good for grapes) The Barossa Zone is made up of the Barossa Valley and Eden Valleys, warm and cool climate regions respectively Known for: Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling Others: Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Grenache, Semillon and Fortified wines, plus GSM blends, bigger whites (Chardonnay, Sémillon, Viognier), Tempranillo and Zinfandel OLD VINES: Many Shiraz vines in the Barossa Valley are several decades old, some 100+ years old NO phylloxera (quarantine laws have helped) here ever so you can get old vines
Barossa ZONE
Zone = An area that usually comprises one or more regions.
Extremely variable landscape -- elevation, inland locations and the coastal influence – lots of mesoclimates Valley floor is HOT – 95˚F/35˚C and dry, hillsides are cool with great diurnals VERY dry so they irrigate, except old vine vineyards on the slightly cooler western side of the valley –dry farmed
Barossa Valley
Land:Flat and hilly -- microclimates Climate: Mediterranean climate: cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, drought is an issue General style: Very ripe grapes with high alcohol, low acid, short maceration to keep tannins soft extensive oak – usually American with coconut/dill notes Shiraz:black fruit, dried fruit (prune) and mocha aromas, tobacco and an earthiness, black pepper aromas. Medium tannin, high alcohol - 14%–15% ABV. Many old, low-yielding vines with great intensity of flavor, and are believed to be among the oldest producing vines in the world. Henschke, Hill of Grace Shiraz, Eden Valley Penfolds, Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley Chateau Tanunda, 150 Year Old Vine Semillon, Barossa Valley Elderton, Command Single Vineyard Shiraz, Barossa Valley Turkey Flat, The Ancestor Shiraz, Barossa Valley Other wines: GSM blends and Shiraz-Cabernet, Cabernet, oaky Chardonnay, Semillon
Eden Valley
Land: In the Barossa Ranges: Best sites on moderate slopes with good sun exposure 380 and 500 meters (1200 and 1640ft) high, MUCH cooler than Barossa Valley – longer growing season, more flavor development Climate: Higher altitude: Eden Valley can be 5 – 7°C cooler than the Barossa Valley floor, slows ripening, more acidity. Fall rain and frosts are issues Riesling is the big dog here: lime, apple and floral characters, along with refreshing acidity and minerality, developing more complex toasty notes with age. Can age them Shiraz: Henschke's single vineyard Hill of Grace, Mount Edenstone
The Future: Studying terroir with Barossa Grounds Project:
Barossa Grape & Wine Association began in 2008 with annual wine tastings and descriptive analysis of 80 unoaked, single vineyard Shiraz Alluvial sands and rich fertile black soils in Southern Barossa, to the infertile slopes overlaying the limestone and ancient sandstone and schist of Eden Valley – to the red clay loams of Northern Barossa – sparking other regions to do more research into land, a new chapter for Australia Check out for more info!

Description
Tscharke Wines
Story has it that the Tscharke Family are one of the original settling families in the Barossa, arriving in the mid-1800s. The family quickly established a mixed farming business including producing grapes for on-selling. Located in South Australia’s iconic Barossa Valley the Tscharke family vineyards were originally planted to the classic varietals of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro and Grenache. The vineyards are sited on the Barossa’s beautiful and gently rugged western ridge in the sub appellations of Seppeltsfield and Marananga. Being a very proud 6th generation vigneron & viticulturist and a 1st generation winemaker Damien Tscharke has taken both the vineyards and winemaking to new levels. Being focused on sustainability from the soil up, the vineyards were further developed to include old European grape varietals new to Australian viticulture
Tscharke Barossa Grounds Collection Shiraz 2012
Robert Parker Tasting Note
Deep garnet-purple in color and scented of cassis, crushed blackberries and star anise with hints of sauteed herbs and black earth, the 2012 Shiraz is a medium-bodied wine with plenty of earth and spice-laced black fruits supported by medium levels of grainy tannins and lively acid. It finishes long. Drink it now to 2018. Score - 90. (Lisa Perrotti-Brown, MW, erobertparker.com, May 2014)
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note
Extremely deep intense purple colour. Complex, intense, slightly spicy, black cherry puree nose with some cedary mocha-chocolate notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, solid, extracty, spicy, intense, ripe cherry-plum puree flavours with a lingering, cedary, high acid, smoky, milk chocolate finish. Has 15.5% alcohol and only 5 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. Wow, this blockbuster is my best buy of the release!

We take on the Barossa valley by bicycle on a day when temperatures reach over 40 degrees celsius. Our thirst for wine drives us close to heat exhaustion, but it all turns out good in the end!

Coming off the A20 onto the A19 Southbound through Nuriootpa, Tanunda and Lyndoch. One frame every five seconds, which seems like a slightly weird timing, in retrospect.
