James Halliday 95 Points, 150-Year-Old Barossa Vines at an Extraordinarily Honest Price

My Wine Man on Turkey Flat

Turkey Flat is one of the Barossa Valley's most historic estates, farming some of the oldest Shiraz vines in Australia, planted in 1847. The Butchers Block is the estate's flagship Shiraz-Grenache-Mataro blend, drawing on these extraordinary 150-year-old dry-grown bushvines.

Tasting Notes

Deep crimson with bright fruit. Dark plum, blackberry, Grenache cherry lift, Mataro spice, dried herbs and a touch of cedar. The palate is full-bodied with ripe tannins and a long, generous finish. 95 Points, James Halliday.

Style & Drinking Window

Full-bodied with ripe tannins. Drinking beautifully now and through 2030. Decant 30 minutes.

Food Pairing

A 95-point Barossa GSM from 150-year-old vines deserves a generous match. We love it with Australian Grass-Fed Lamb Backstrap from My Meat Man, pan-seared rare with rosemary and garlic, a magnificent match for Butchers Block's dark plum, Grenache cherry and Mataro spice.
