41st Barossa Wine Show 2017Wines of Provenance Results

A pleasure to judge the Provenance Class for the second year! This is an exercise in not only wine quality but house style, style evolution and ageability.To view a region through the prism of three vintages is an instructive exercise and the wines on the bench guided us well! Robust discussion of five shortlisted wines led us to a taste off between two – a white and a red.All wonderful wines of their variety and vintage and progression through maturity. Glory to Barossa.

A really interesting and classic class, the top wines were diverse and in style, lots of power, concentration and judicious use of oak. Lesser exmples showed over exraction and drying/hard tannins.

A pleasure to judge; top wines showing concentration and balance between fragrance and poise. Grenache is heading in a great direction. Still some wishy washy early developed wines.
