Izway Wines 'Don' Shiraz 2021
The Wine
This classic, modern Barossa Shiraz is bold and rich but still elegant and balanced.
The Don vineyard, situated in Ebenezer, is a remarkable site. The cooler 2021 Vintage brings forth earth and spice, gradually revealing robust notes of red berries, leather, and dark chocolate. The palate is both balanced and sophisticated, displaying the texture of a classic harvest with pronounced tannins, sharp acidity, and a restrained richness. A truly transcendental wine.
600 bottles produced.

About the Wine Maker 
Recently Ex Torbreck Head Winemaker (2006-2017), Craig Isbel, owner and winemaker of Izway Wines, dropped in to pour his latest creations. He knows a thing or two about the Barossa - his pedigree at Torbreck included turning out 4 x 100 point Wine Advocate wines and countless 99-pointers!!
Craig, along with his wife Kathryn own and operate Izway Wines in the Barossa Valley. Their ‘Micro’ winery turns out incredible handcrafted wines, albeit in minute quantities - their annual crush varies from 22 to 25 tons - TINY!
In addition to producing wine from vines around their house and winery, they collaborate with a couple of long-term partners with small plots nearby as well as one plot in the Eden Valley. All grapes are sourced from old vines and organically grown. The Isbels work in a 'Lo-Fi' manner, using no pumps, a basket press and minimal additions of sulphur - very hands off!
