Izway Wines 'Bruce' Shiraz 2021
The Wine
This wine is a perfect blend of vineyards from the North-western ridge of the Barossa Valley and Northern Eden Valley.
In 2003 a single barrel called Bruce, held our entire first vintage. Named after Kathryn’s late father, Bruce is the most iconic and personally significant wine that we produce.
The aromatics are vibrant, fresh, expressive, and bold with both floral and fruit-driven characteristics provoking intrigue and delight in equal parts. The palate is bold and confident yet elegant and refined and displays all the traits that place Barossa Valley Shiraz in such high regard around the world.
The pedigree of these vineyards is unquestioned, and the distinctive blend of both Barossa and Eden Valleys creates a timeless wine that can be consumed in the near and long term with equivalent enjoyment.
Arguably the finest Bruce we have released

About the Wine Maker 
At IZWAY wines, our task is to gently guide our wines to bottle so they are an accurate reflection of both the site on which they were grown and the prevailing conditions throughout the growing season.
Our job is made easier through access to the amazing old-vines and abundant sunshine that makes the Barossa Valley so famous across the globe. Wines of purity, energy and vitality that speak clearly of the region we call home.
Our wine making is simple and minimalistic, based on old-world, hands-on techniques. We limit our acid additions as much as possible, rarely use nutrient, never use tannin or any other additions and we never fine or filter our wines.
We use all old oak (apart from 2 barrels a year) and age some of our wine in large oak Fudre (2.4kL). We also use some whole bunch winemaking with Grenache and Mataro and only destem (we don't crush) our Shiraz. Izway Wines
IZWAY Wines originated from a handshake between two Australian winemakers in a Beaujolais chateau. Brian Conway and Craig Isbel, who met at Chateau de Bluizard in 2002, decided over several nights of enjoying pastis to establish their own winery in the Barossa Valley. Craig promptly sourced half a tonne of Ebenezer Shiraz from a friend, leading to the creation of the inaugural ‘Bruce’ in 2003, produced in a single barrique. Since then, IZWAY Wines has grown slowly and organically. Introducing Brian Conway, the owner and winemaker at IZWAY Wines. Having started buying and savoring second growth Bordeaux at 18, Brian's passion for wine is evident. The wines that Brian and Craig create are exceptional, competing with the most renowned wineries in South Australia.
