Barossa Shiraz is a style of wine even non-drinkers have heard of. It has the kind of brand recognition other regions would kill for.
It’s a bit like Châteauneuf-du-Pape in that respect. Even people with no interest in wine have often heard of it, even if they haven’t tasted it.
The similarities don’t end there. Châteauneuf might be typically Grenache-dominant, but thanks to a hot and dry climate, both of these regions make famously concentrated, opulent, potent wines that can age for decades.
Neither are particularly fashionable, despite the fact the very best of their respective styles can be profound, complex and unmistakable wines of place.
So, if Barossa can be equated to Châteauneuf, can we compare other South Australian regions to parts of the Rhône? I think we can.
