Maverick Wines is a 5-star Halliday winery that takes a terroir driven approach to creating their product. In 2004, owner and winemaker, Ron Brown, acquired some of the best vineyards in the Barossa and set to work building a trusted brand with a focus on consistency of style and consistency of quality. Long story short, you know what you're going to get when you crack a bottle of Maverick, here's what we got from this beauty. A dense, highly concentrated wine with toasty French oak notes, warming spices and a silky smooth finish. Dark fruits run the show, as expected, and a velvety tannin structure and bright acidity hold this in good stead for, at very least, 10 years. This is just really really good Barossa shiraz.
