GO Shiraz 2015

Very deep, dark red colour with purple and black tinges. The bouquet is earthy and savoury with some development over dark chocolate, licorice and spice aromas. A typical example of Pyrenees Shiraz being full bodied and quite powerful, with emphatic tannins and lots of grunt.

Graduating in 1992 with a degree in the applied science of Oenology, Andrew Koerner headed off to the Yarra Valley in Victoria, working as assistant winemaker at St. Huberts. This winery became part of the Len Evans Rothbury group along with the historic Saltram Winery in the Barossa Valley, allowing a transfer back to South Australia as winemaker at Saltram in 1995. With a thirst for wider experience Andrew moved to Rosemount in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley in 1999. Here he took on a role as Senior Winemaker, later becoming Manager after Rosemount’s merger with Southcorp in 2001. In 2004, Andrew was made an offer to join and lead the team at Blue Pyrenees Estate and was delighted to come on board. Andrew recognised Blue Pyrenees as an iconic Victorian brand from a still emerging region, the Pyrenees, which has the most diverse winemaking potential Andrew has ever seen. Andrew has been making Glenlofty wines since 2011.
