Izway Wines 'Don' Shiraz 2021
The Wine
This classic, modern Barossa Shiraz is bold and rich but still elegant and balanced.
The Don vineyard in Ebenezer is an exceptional place to grow grapes. Viticulturist Adrian Hoffmann’s philosophy, knowledge and passion are virtually unmatched in our region. The Don’ has been aptly named as the head of the Izway family, in a similar vain to the status that Adrian is gaining with his peers in the Barossa Valley.
Earth and spice showcase a cooler harvest and unwind to reveal powerful notes of red berries, leather, and dark chocolate. The palate is balanced and refined, and the texture of a classic harvest is on show with assertive tannin, crisp acidity and guarded opulence.
While the mouth feel is more restrained than is typical of this wine, the true depth and complexity of this great harvest will be revealed in time.

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.
