2006 SHIRAZ BOTTLING
The 2006 Balthazar of the Barossa Shiraz is looking sensational and will be bottled in December 2007 – for the first time in screwcap! The big move to screwcap has been made in order to provide the wine to consumers in the pristine condition in which it was made – without fear of cork taint.

BALTHAZAR STRIKES GOLD AGAIN!
Balthazar of the Barossa 2005 received a coveted gold medal at the 2007 Royal Adelaide Wine Show. This is a huge result for a boutique producer like Balthazar Barossa whose wine was pitted against the best in Australia. Only 900 cases of the 2005 have been produced, which will be released in 2008. Preference for allocation will be given to Balthazar “friends” who have previously bought and those who register before March 2008.

2005 SHIRAZ BOTTLING
The 2005 Balthazar of the Barossa Shiraz was bottled on November 30, 2006. It's extraordinary, but won't be available until mid-to-late 2008. Sorry to tease!
