Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa vigneron and winemaker. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons.

Grant Burge’s Filsell vineyard with near century old vines is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley and consistently produces fruit of great intensity and concentration. Planted in 1920, this vineyard also produces some of the fruit for Grant Burge Wines, flagship Shiraz, the highly acclaimed Meshach. Filsell is known to loyal followers as Meshach’s younger brother. The majority of the fruit for Filsell Shiraz comes from the vineyard of the same name.

The famous Filsell Shiraz from their Barossa Valley vineyard with vines planted over a century ago, is still cracking value and always a delicious drink. There is a richness and generosity immediately apparent with this wine. Finely crafted with the oak deftly handled, giving the wine a flick of a vanillin note. Firm tannins sit comfortably towards the end of a very long finish. Drink to: 2026-2045; Price: $65.00; Rating: 95 Points; Ken Gargett

Welcoming from the outset, with a faintly smoky, charry sense to the nose, a suggestion of crumbled earth and forest floor as an understorey. Then comes the fruit – a fresh crush of purple plum, vibrant flavours, a reverb of that initial blacksmithy char, and an intricate weave of fine yet sticky tannins with a lip-smacking finish. Its depth with a confident vitality gives this a special sensibility and a formidable future. Alcohol: 14.6%; Price: $65.00; Rating: 95 Points; Tony Love
