The inspiration for this wine was that Giles wanted to give something back. In 2013 his father died, and the idea behind his label was to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourfatherswines.co.uk\/our-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\">donate the profits to appropriate charitable causes<\/a>. Then, in 2014 Giles&#8217; mother died, and the following year Giles himself suffered a heart attack. All these life hurdles gave him further commitment to this charitable impulse. \u00a0The wine? The emphasis is on subtlety rather than power and it&#8217;s really impressive. Available for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourfatherswines.co.uk\/how-to-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a325 per bottle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Fathers Barossa Shiraz 2014 Australia<br \/>\n<\/strong>13.5% alcohol. Made from 125 year old vines in Moppa, with 35% whole bunch, and 18 months in older oak. Beautifully packaged. Sweet, lively raspberry and plum notes with some blackcurrant, too. Fresh with a complex savoury baking and notes of herbs, pepper and ginger. Nicely supple and quite elegant, this is made in a warm, ripe style as befits the Barossa, but with plenty of silky elegance and a supple personality. 94\/100<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Fathers is a small production Barossa Shiraz made by Giles Cooke MW of Alliance wine.
