"The top wine (of 217 entries) and trophy winner at the 2002 Visy Board Great Australian Shiraz Challenge... Great colour, then dark berry, licorice, leather and spice aromas flow into a rich, complex palate, with fruit, oak and tannins in harmonious abundance."
96 Points - James Halliday
As the flagship of Tatachilla, Foundation Shiraz represents a commitment to excellence in both viticulture and winemaking. Judiicious selection of shiraz from McLaren Vale vineyards, use of traditional methods in vinification and the selection of American and French oak for ageing has resulted in the crafting of a wine of great depth and richness. The robust fruit paltate ensures the wine has immiediate appeal and will cellar well for future enjoyment.
