A benchmark Shiraz from the Barossa Valley, the 1998 Meshach showcases the richness and longevity of one of Australia’s most iconic vintages. Sourced from low-yielding old vines, this wine was matured in a mix of new and seasoned American oak for over 20 months, resulting in a full-bodied, deeply structured style with great cellaring potential.
Tasting Profile
Aromas of blackberry, plum, mocha, vanilla, cedar, and spice unfold in layers. The palate is powerful yet balanced, with ripe dark fruits, dark chocolate, and roasted coffee notes supported by firm, fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and savoury, showing the maturity and finesse expected of top-tier Barossa Shiraz.
Food Pairing
Best served with richly flavoured dishes like grilled lamb, slow-cooked beef, game meats, or aged hard cheeses. Decanting is recommended.
