It’s a big statement but Grant Burge believes his 1998 Meshach is not only the best example of his flagship red - but the best wine he has ever made.
“The 1998 vintage was a remarkable one. There’s just no other way to describe it,” he said.
“I’ve been making wine in the Barossa for well over 30 years now and I’ve never experienced a better vintage than ‘98, especially for red wines.
“Given that Meshach is my flagship red and represents the very best I can make, I guess I’d have to say that this is probably the best wine I have made so far.”
A very dry 1997 season, which brought less than half the Barossa’s normal winter rainfall was followed by good spring rain and a warm summer, which produced generous
crops of well-above-average-quality fruit harvested in perfect condition.
“The 1998 vintage produced outstanding reds with greater intensity and depth of fruit flavour than we’ve ever achieved before and the 1998 Meshach obviously sits at the very peak of what we achieved that year,”
The principal sources of fruit for Meshach are the 80-year-old-plus Shiraz vines of Grant’s own Filsell Vineyard.
“I’m not looking for strong varietal character in the fruit I select for Meshach. I’m looking for concentration of flavour and vinosity,”.
“The 1998 Meshach is a big wine in every sense. It has a big tannin structure, huge fruit and great complexity. It’s a wine with real guts.”
And while 22 months maturation in new small American oak has had an obvious impact on the flavour of the wine, Grant insists that the oak in no way overpowers the fruit or stands separately from it.
“The oak reinforces the fruit and builds the complexity. I think it’s a great red and I’m absolutely confident that it will be drinking very well in another quarter of a century
if properly cellared.”
Grant Burge 1998 Meshach Shiraz has been named in honour of Grant’s great-great-grandfather, Meshach William Burge, who was one of the first to plant grapes
and make wine in the Lyndoch region of the Barossa.
