One of the first grape varietals planted in Australia, Mourvedre found a new home away from home in the warm and opportune climes of Barossa Valley. Established in the 1840s and in continuous ownership by the Schulz family since 1870, Turkey Flat at Tanunda was a habitat of wild Australian Bustards, a favourite bush food of locals and early settlers. Hand picked parcels of old to very old vines Mourvedre are treated to macerations on skins and warm temperature ferments, followed by a fill to French oak hogsheads and puncheons for twenty months maturation.
TASTING NOTES
Deep cherry red. Fine floral bouquet of violet, bay leaves and oaken spice. Mourvedre's small and sweet, thick skinned berries make a wine that's intense, showing flavours of fresh raspberries, blueberries and white pepper spice, high in alcohol and tannin, gamey when young and full of fruit. A rich, intense finish of red berry fruits, minerals and flinty.

More About Turkey Flat Wines
Turkey Flat is more than just a vineyard and home to one of the best Barossa wines, it is a family business that forms a vital part of the region's rich cultural history and heritage
It was here, on the banks of Tanunda Creek where bush turkeys once roamed, that pioneer Silesian settler Johann Friedrich August Fiedler planted the first Shiraz vines in 1843. His vines flourished and the land Section One, in the Hundred of Moorooroo was bought in 1865 by Gottlieb Ernst Schulz, a successful butcher who established a thriving retail business among the vines. Butchering developed into dairying, but the vineyards were always kept, until Peter, a fourth generation Schulz, and his wife, Christie, made the transition from grape growing to winemaking.
