Tomfoolery Son of a Gun Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz is a dedication to the favourite Barossa blend of the old guns, from their proud sons. The classic Barossa ‘Claret’ is the marrying of the region’s great varietals, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. From an early age the Tomfoolery team learnt to appreciate and respect this traditional Barossa wine style as a true example of varietal harmony.

Tasting Notes:

Displaying a deep, rich purple and an intesnse Shiraz brambles with a herbal Cabernet lift on the nose.

The mission: A great ‘Barossa Claret’ - success!

Ripe, supple Shiraz with a lovely Cebernet backbone, satisfyingly full-flavoured.

Great with rich gamey flavours – preferably game you’ve shot yourself, of course!

Winemaking Notes:

The fruit is handpicked at optimum ripeness and flavour profile ensuring overall balance before being gently destemmed to keep as many whole berries and then open fermented for a minimum of five days with the juice being pumped over the skins twice daily to maximize oxygenation and purity of fermentation.

Once the wine is dry it is then gently basket pressed minimizing the extraction of harsh extractive tannins.

Matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak barriques.
