Rich, generous and unmistakably Barossa. Dark plum, blackberry, cherry and warming spice, with dark chocolate, pepper and earthy depth. Full and generous on the palate, with plush ripe dark fruit, good tannin structure and natural acidity through to a long finish. Organic, minimal intervention and nothing hidden. Pairs beautifully with barbecued meats, lamb or hard cheeses.

Description
Tscharke Wines is run by Damien Tscharke, a sixth-generation Barossa farmer whose grandparents Gerhard and Irene first planted vines at Seppeltsfield, in the heart of Marananga. Damien studied viticulture and oenology, made his first wine after hours in 2001, and founded Tscharke Wines properly in 2004, determined to farm the family land his own way.
That way turned out to be uncompromising: Tscharke is one of only three wineries in the entire Barossa Valley, out of more than 150, certified both organic and biodynamic. The estate runs on solar power, uses only rainwater and recycled water, and makes its own compost and biodynamic preparations on site, working towards a fully closed-loop farm. Marananga's elevated, western-ridge position gives the vineyard cooler nights and more temperature swing than the valley floor, and it's this old, prehistoric soil and careful, hands-off farming that gives Shiraz Shiraz Shiraz its generous, true-to-place character.
Tasting Notes
Vintage: 2023
Colour: Deep, vibrant ruby-purple with a rich colour density.
Nose: Classic Barossa Shiraz: dark plum, blackberry, cherry and warming spice. Notes of dark chocolate, pepper and a hint of earthy depth from the biodynamic farming.
Palate: Full and generous with plush, ripe dark fruit. Good tannin structure and natural acidity from organic farming keep the wine lively and balanced. Spice, dark fruit and warm earth carry through to a long, satisfying finish.

These glasses bring a lightweight, sophisticated touch to any dining experience. We received them as a gift and have been absolutely delighted—so much so that we wouldn’t choose anything else now. They’ve truly elevated our table setting.
We absolutely love this wine! After one run through the decanter, it becomes a beautifully smooth red. We also purchased the decanter from The Wine Traveller and couldn’t be happier. Quick dispatch and delivery. The organic reds taste incredibly fresh and clean—no chemical aftertaste at all and no hangover. We're hooked. Thanks, Greg!
I was at first hesitant about a sparkling wine in a screw cap bottle but was very pleasantly surprised by both the quality of the wine and the cap. The screw cap does a better job of keeping the bubbles fresh than any champagne stopper I have ever used.
This wine is our favourite drop for those everyday bubbles where you don't want to open an expensive French champagne like Verve or Taittinger (she who must be obeyed favourites).
It’s good enough to drink as a non alcoholic alternative to champagne and the little bottles are perfect - big enough to share or to drink the whole lot yourself!
I’ve had to give up my French champagne for health reasons and so I’ve tested many sparkling ‘wines’. I first sampled this at the famous Lakehouse Daylesford and have never looked back. It looks like champagne and is the closest thing you’ll get without the alcohol and the French touch. Give it a go!
It made me sad when my doctor said to give up alcohol. I love my bubbles. At a lunch at the Lakehouse I saw this non- alcoholic sparkling and gave it a go. Game changer. Looked the same and was very well received by my palate! The best part no adverse reactions and no hangover. So…..I had to buy some for those special celebrations when I didn’t want to feel left out. A little on the expensive side but worth it.
We are normally Shiraz drinkers, but I would describe this Grenache as a warmer-climate Pinot Noir with more body, making it incredibly approachable, food-friendly, and a fantastic alternative to heavier reds.
It is a highly aromatic, medium-bodied red wine with flavours reminiscent of red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. Very nice indeed.
We were amazed how quickly you managed to package our order and get it Aus Post. Unfortunately, Aus Post are a business that do not care about quality and it took 2 weeks to get it to us. This is not out of the ordinary and I feel Aus Post are hurting businesses and this might impact on whether we decide to purchase from you guys again. However, you guys were great!
I tasted this wine at Marmelo restaurant in Melbourne. I loved it. I have been systematically tasting zero alcohol sparkling wines for some months and this was the best one I had ever tasted. I ordered 6 bottles, and everyone I share it with is VERY impressed.
My son bought this prosecco at the Sutherland Saturday markets, and we all agree it's the best prosecco we've had. I re-ordered directly through The Wine Traveller as they weren't there a couple of weeks ago, and delivery was super-fast plus 10% off my first order! Very happy, and will be purchasing again once we get through the latest box.
