About
Made from the earliest-maturing shiraz grapes off the Eskadale block, this Langhorne Creek red is matured for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. Young, vibrant blackberry carries floral lift, with plum and mocha rounding out a layered, full-bodied palate. A fruit-forward, typical Langhorne Creek shiraz that leans on power as much as finesse.
Winner's Tank takes its name from an old water tank standing in the corner of the vineyard. Three neighbouring towns compete hard in the local Australian Rules football competition. Each year the winning side drives out and repaints the tank in their colours.
Pour it with grilled lamb chops seasoned with rosemary and juniper berry, a venison stew, or a smoked gouda cauliflower gratin. It's a ripe, fruit-forward wine, ready to drink without needing to sit and open up first.
Producer note
Eskadale Vineyards was established in 1998 in Langhorne Creek, South Australia. The estate's vineyards benefit from long sunshine hours and cooling Southern Ocean breezes, suited to shiraz and cabernet sauvignon, alongside smaller holdings of chardonnay, viognier and frontignac.
