"Zingy, offering a lively mouthful of peppery currant and plum flavors. This is tightly packed with layers of spice and toast around vibrant fruit, which lingers against refined tannins on the juicy finish. Best from 2009 through 2015. 600 cases made." 91 Points - Wine Spectator

"Almost Rhone-ish in its spicy, savory notes and sour plum flavors. It’s meaty and peppery, with sausage-like notes. Only medium-bodied, this is not a typical Barossa heavyweight, but a wine that relies on aromatics and complexity for its charm. Drink now–2012."90 points - Wine Enthusiast

WINE:
"We are fortunate to have access to some fantastic vineyards in the Eden Valley. Predominately from a classic red dirt on a limestone soil vineyard in the north of the Eden Valley, which provides a core of black fruit and a luscious mouthfeel, the wine is finished by the elegant lifted fruit from a couple of vineyards high on the ridges of Eden Valley. It is this fruit that gives the wine its peppery almost medicinal lift and elegance." -Winery

ESTATE:
"The Tin Shed Wines adventure began in 1997, when Peter Clarke’s passion for food and wine overflowed one night in the company of friend and viticulturist Andrew Wardlaw. (Peter is head chef and part-owner of the award-winning Vintners Bar & Grill near Angaston.)"

"The following year, the pair combined their talents in a small tin shed to create their first wine. This Shiraz was mollycoddled from the outset – handpicked and hand nurtured using wild fermentation and minimal additions. The undivided attention the fruit and resulting wine received paid off, with the Single Wire Shiraz receiving accolades from wine lovers and wine writers alike."

"Tin Shed Wines now boasts five labels. Each of them demands an equal amount of nurturing, so total production is still limited to 5000 cases each year. These wines were designed to be unique and are continually being hailed as such by those who have the privilege of tasting them. In 2006, Peter and wife Anne, took sole ownership of Tin Shed Wines. Enter viticulturist/winemaker Nathan Norman, who was attracted to the winery because of its attention to detail."

"The Tin Shed dream has not faltered over the past 10 years. The small team is still intent on mollycoddling its wines, to produce real vineyard flavours that complement food without overpowering it." -Winery
