The well-publicised trade spat between Australia and China is still disrupting the Australian wine industry, so with 1847 largest market removed, we've been tasked with this once in a lifetime opportunity and the best alcohol deal we've ever seen.
The 1847 brand has had very little exposure in the New Zealand market and we understand that before us, only a handful of cases have ever been sold here, as the winery has concentrated on domestic sales and their key international markets. Before the trade spat, 1847 enjoyed spectacular success within China's elite circles, and we have been told that the only more recognised Australian wine brand in that market is Penfolds.
We have tasted this wine and, as the reviews below attest, it is spectacular; a highly perfumed, concentrated and opulent release that amplifies everything that the world loves about elite Barossa Shiraz. No expense has been spared in the vineyards or winery to create this wine. The fruit weight, tannin and acid components are beautifully expressed and the finish is incredibly long. Read the reviews below to reassure yourself what's on the table here.
In our minds, this 2020 release sits at the same level as the very finest examples of shiraz that the Barossa has to offer - including the most famous labels in Australian winemaking. It has enormous cellar potential and will continue to drink well over the coming 2-3 decades. (As a relatively young release for wine of this magnitude, we suggest that you decant it before service if you open a bottle in the next few years.)
First Pick has a significant following amongst collectors in the Australian market. The 2020 vintage - the winery's current release of this, their flagship label - has only recently been released. As part of our arrangement with the winery, the wine has been shipped into New Zealand in plain white 6 packs.
Clearly, with an opportunity of this magnitude, stocks are strictly limited and we strongly suggest you secure your personal requirements before telling colleagues, family and friends.
Tasting note
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit: "97pts. Immensely complex and enticing, the wine is packed with blackberry, mocha, potpourri, vanillin oak and warm spice characters. The powerfully concentrated palate delivers outstanding depth and plush texture, wonderfully framed by beautifully melded tannins. Multi-layered and lavish, this is magnificent and gratifying. At its best: now to 2040."
Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot: "98pts. An embracing wine that captures so much of the Barossa. Comes from selected rows among selected vineyards, after which the best barrels are chosen to create this exceptional wine. Seductive aromas of black cherry and blackberry with slightly plummy characters. It’s a powerful wine yet the delivery is all one of finesse and elegance. Seamlessly woven chalky tannins thread through the beautifully weighted palate. Bright and bursting with energy."
