Tribute to the famous local brass band who played on the BVE property from 1927 to 1938. The band’s most treasured instrument was the Circular E-flat Bass, purchased with money raised at local concerts. This wine is testament to the superb growing conditions of this iconic wine region and honours the rich cultural history of the Barossa Valley.
 
Wine

Vibrant purple red, the nose shows lifted plums, violets, spices, with some beautifully
integrated nutmeg oak sweetness enhancing the long finish.
A rich medium bodied palate, Tempranillo adds soft spice and elegance to the robust
Shiraz spine.
 
Winemaker’s Comment

The 2005 E Bass Shiraz Tempranillo sees the first step in our winemaking journey in
identifying specific grape varieties that complement Shiraz.  In future vintages it is
our goal to push stylistic boundaries of the Barossa Valley and explore a number of
specific varieties and blends.  This wine will improve for a least another five years.
