Grab the whole collection in one pack!
Why just settle for one of these classic wines when you can have a mix of all 3!?
Discover a unique story with each one of these carefully handcrafted wines. A collection that pays homage to the land and people that have made Atze’s Corner Wines the legendary place it is today.
Each story mirrors the trials and tribulations of the Barossa Valley people. These powerful and concentrated red wines are the reserve selection of Atze’s Corner; fruits from the best patches of ancient vineyards, the best small ferments, and broken down to only the best individual barrels of matured wine.
These limited production vintages are highly sought after and sell out quickly. We recommend reserving yours as early as possible to avoid disappointment.
The vivid crimson colour that welcomes you to this wine betrays its concentration and ripeness. Elegant and extremely classy French oak aromas greet your nose, along with sweet spices, cinnamon and cedar.
Flowing through to the palate, your taste buds are met by a mellow, rich wine with ripe blueberries and damson plum flavours. Currently it’s youthful and explosively rich with primary brightness melded with subtle oak toastiness.
As it evolves in the cellar I see layers of complexity revealing themselves and the opulence maturing into more subtle flavours. It’s a show-stopper right now though!
Altogether, this is an extremely harmonious wine with a succulence, making it the perfect accompaniment for high-grade Wagyu steak or slow roast lamb.
