2022 Woods Crampton White Label Barossa Shiraz

Yet again the Woods Crampton Barossa Valley Shiraz shapes as one of the year's true wine bargains. Shiraz lovers eat your hearts out. This 2022 White Label Shiraz is the perfect example – sleek, balanced, and refreshingly restrained, it’s a far cry from the big, jammy fruit bombs that dominated the region’s past.

Sourced from low-yielding, old-vine vineyards on the cooler slopes of the eastern Barossa, this Shiraz showcases the elegance that comes with altitude. The grapes are treated with utmost care – chilled overnight, gently de-stemmed, and cold-soaked to extract Brossa flavour with finesse. 

The 2022 vintage was a dream run for winemakers, with perfect conditions that resulted in Shiraz of exceptional depth of flavour. On the nose, this wine opens up with a mix of black and red berries, exotic spices, and a subtle oak influence that adds complexity without overpowering the fruit. A refreshing acidity keeps everything in balance, making this a Shiraz that’s delicious to drink right now.

Modern Barossa Shiraz at its quaffable best – drinkability, complexity, and value all in one bottle. If you're a fan of this quintessential Aussie wine style, this is quite simply one of the best value Shiraz in The Barossa Valley.
