2006TatiarraCulledBarrelShiraz

Sans The story of Tatiarra is one of the pursuit of perfection. Right from the outset, the objective was to produce extraordinary shiraz equal in quality to the great wines of the world. The 2002 vintage was the first release of Tatiarra wines, and resulted in rave reviews from wine critics around the world. Cambrian Shiraz, Caravan of Dreams and Trademark are the bench mark wines. In order to achieve the extraordinary quality of these wines, each barrel from each vintage is tasted and classified. Any barrels, that for whatever reason, fail to improve the flag ship wines are culled. Winemakers Ben Riggs and Peter Flewellyn are ruthless in their selection, and it is often with considerable dismay (and subsequent financial loss) that the winemakers declare a barrel not worthy of the main blend – This is very much a John West Approach.
