“The Fritz” is a heartfelt tribute to a true Barossa character. Born in 1890, Fritz was a fourth-generation Barossan whose life was deeply tied to the land his family had farmed for generations. A cornerstone of the community, his legacy continues today through his grandson David, who still calls the family orchard block home. Crafted in the same generous spirit Fritz embodied, this wine celebrates Barossa heritage, connection to land, and the timeless tradition of sharing good wine with the community.
A masterful blend showcasing the distinctive character of ironstone soils, 'The Fritz' 2024 marries the depth of Shiraz with the aromatic complexity of Mourvèdre and Grenache's vibrant fruit. This medium-bodied wine reveals lifted black pepper and clove spice intertwined with blueberry, black plum, and liquorice, complemented by savoury charcuterie notes.
The palate delivers generous dark fruit flavours with a firm, savoury finish that balances richness with elegance. Its medium to dark garnet hue hints at the wine's structured yet approachable nature. Best enjoyed slightly cool to appreciate its layered aromatics and smooth texture.
Immediately delicious with excellent ageing potential—enjoy until 2035.
