Half Bottles Shiraz - 2006 - Turkey Flat
Ref: A910906
Full bodied palate of plums, red currants and cedar.

Turkey Flat is more than just a vineyard as it is a family business that forms a vital part of the region’s rich cultural history and heritage.

It was here, on the banks of Tanunda Creek where bush turkeys once roamed, that pioneer Salesian settler Johann Friedrich August Fiedler planted the first Shiraz vines in 1843. His vines flourished and the land – Section One, in the Hundred of Moorooroo – was bought in 1865 by Gottlieb Ernst Schulz, a successful butcher who established a thriving retail business among the vines.

Butchering developed into dairying, but the vineyards were always kept, until Peter, a fourth generation Schulz, and his wife, Christie, made the transition from grape growing to winemaking. They transformed the historic bluestone butchers shop into the cellar door shop and heart of their Turkey Flat wine business, and made sure that the vines that Fiedler planted so long ago, now gnarled and twisted, are still a vital part of the process.

As the Australian wine critic, James Halliday, put it, "If you have vines dating back to 1847, and don't attempt to push the envelope too far, it is possible to come up with a wine such as the Turkey Flat Barossa Valley Shiraz."
