"Grant Burge made the first Holy Trinity blend in 1995. But, following a trip to France's Rhone Valley with winemaker Craig Stansborough, he refined the style dramatically over the following vintages. In particular, a move to extended post-fermentation maceration created silky, soft tannins; and a shift away from American to older French oak meant an altogether more subtle wine. The beautiful 2010 vintage matches anything else to date under the label, and provides smooth, satisfying, supple, spicy, vibrant drinking. It's an excellent example of this distinctive Barossa style." December 2013

"Positive purple-red; Barossa here means Barossa region, and high elevation on the edge of the Adelaide Hills. This is a robust cabernet, but a very good one, the full-bodied palate with layers of blackcurrant fruit, a twist of olive, ripe tannins and an exact amount of French oak."  August 2013

Tasting Notes - The 2011 Filsell Shiraz has an incredible depth of colour, with the vibrancy of youth adding purple hues to the deep, dark red. The nose displays classic 'Filsell aromas' of dark chocolate, licorice and lifted raspberry fruit with hints of lavender. The palate is full of intense red berry fruits, with ripe blackberries and rhubarb infused with lifted spice and rich vanilla, milk chocolate notes. The soft palate is beautifully weighted, with optimal balance between ripe, concentrated fruit flavours, sweet spices, tannins and acidity. A silky, well rounded fleshy fruit style which is drinking well know or can be confidently cellared for 10 years+ after release.
A few words about Grant Burge
Grant Burge Family
The Burge family
Grant Burge is a fifth-generation Barossa Vigneron. Throughout his career, Grant has been one of the most respected and innovative forces in the Australian wine industry. The history of the Burge family and their long association with winemaking in the region can be traced back to March 1855, when noted tailor John Burge immigrated to the Barossa from Hillcot, near Pewsey in Wiltshire, England with his wife Eliza and their two sons. With help from his sons Meshach and Henry, John's farm flourished with wheat, sheep and viticulture. His eldest son Meshach continued the farming tradition and was a prominent community leader. He married Emma in the early 1900s and they had eight children. First-born Percival established the Wilsford Winery in 1916, beginning the Burge winemaking tradition. Percival had two sons, Noel and Colin, and Colin and his wife Nancy had one son, Grant. Following in the footsteps of his father and forefathers before him, Grant now carries the winemaking tradition into the 21st century.

Grant Burge Wines was formed in 1988 by Grant and his wife Helen, and is located in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Continuing the family tradition, Grant and Helen have now brought the sixth generation into the fold. Eldest son Toby is the company's Vineyard Manager, upholding the premium quality and consistency of fruit produced from the vineyards. Amelia joined the Marketing Department in an assistant role early in 2007, and in late 2008 went out into the world to gain more experience to bring back to the company later on in her career. Trent, the youngest, has been part of the hardworking cellar team at the Illaparra Winery since 2006 and more recently has spent time in the vineyard. All three children share Grant and Helen's vision to continue this long family tradition of bringing exceptional wines to the world.
 
"I am a romantic, and I have a real sense of my family history, of my father and grandfather, and what they achieved." Grant Burge
