Charles Melton Grains of Paradise 2021

Charles Melton Grains of Paradise is a premium Barossa Shiraz drawn from the estate's Krondorf and Rowland Flat vineyards.

Charles Melton is a family winery on Krondorf Road in the Barossa Valley, founded in 1984 by Graeme 'Charlie' Melton and run with his wife Virginia. Grains of Paradise is a Shiraz from two parts of the southern Barossa: the home vineyard at Krondorf, south of Tanunda, and Rowland Flat, a little further south on the valley floor near the North Para River. Both districts have red-brown soils over clay and warm, dry summers that ripen Shiraz fully, while old dry-grown vines contribute depth and concentration. The wine is matured in oak barrels and bottled under screwcap, and it is built to reward several years of cellaring as its dense fruit and firm tannins integrate.

A powerful, full-bodied Shiraz for roast rib of beef, lamb shoulder or game; serve at around 17 to 18 degrees.
