Our Bosworth Shiraz is a terrific example of a McLaren Vale Shiraz in all of its glory - a bit of chocolate, spice, red and blue fruits (boysenberry and mulberry), underlying char from some lovely oak and nice and balanced with a very pleasing length. Simple really, but totally delicious.

  • We have found a method that works here at BoB when it comes to making our Bosworth Shiraz, and we stick to it. At the risk of using that hackneyed old saying ‘no point in re-inventing the wheel’, in reality this is our mantra. So, when making this, the 15th incarnation of our Bozzie Shiraz, we pick the grapes when they are sugar and flavour ripe, crush them and then ferment in small open vessels. We drain off the fermenting juice and pump it over the ‘cap’ of grape skins 3 times a day which helps add colour, flavour and tannins to the wine. The wine then finishes ferment in barrel, of various shapes, sizes and ages. The main emphasis is French oak barrels, but there is always a couple of new American ones too. We also use a small component of cordon-cut, vine dried Shiraz (which is used to make the ‘White Boar’), which we add to the blend just before bottling. We have done this ever since we started making the BoB Shiraz. We find it adds a lovely spiciness and intrigue to the wine. Simple stuff, but compelling too….
