Thorn Clarke Terra Barossa Shiraz Australian Red Wine 750ml

$17.99

Between visits to the winery and the American importer, I may have tasted half of this large winery’s offerings. There are several tiers of wines being produced, including some brands from outside the Barossa (which will be included in a subsequent report). Overall, the wines are solid, with quality generally increasing alongside price. – Joe Czerwinski, 31st Aug 2018, 238, The Wine Advocate
This range pays tribute to the ideal grape growing terroir of the Barossa. The free draining soil structure combined with the continental climate of warm days and cool nights enables us to produce elegant wines with good varietal characters. The Terra Barossa range was developed initially for export markets, and comprises of three popular red varietals and a red blend – all of which offer outstanding value for money. The range is named is named in honour of the rich soils in the region which are a major factor in the Barossa’s reputation as one of the great wine regions of the world. All of the grapes are from our Thorn-Clarke estate vineyards in the Barossa, and the wines are handmade with the dedication of our winemaking team. The Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and blend (Shiraz / Cabernet / Petit Verdot) are primarily sourced from our St Kitts and Milton Park vineyards with a small amount of fruit from the Kabininge vineyard located near Tanunda.
