Bachelor 2018 Barossa Valley Shiraz - Tasting Notes and my Food pairing recipe.
By Isabelle Johns
I'm very excited to bring you my thoughts on this outstanding Shiraz from what is shaping up to look more and more like a classic Barossa vintage as we start to see more being released at the moment.
The Kalleske's and my Husband Ryan (don't tell him i said so!) have done a great job with the vineyard and winemaking so I had a lot of fun doing the tasting notes and making a dish which to me matches really well with this Shiraz.
It’s a classic Barossa Valley Shiraz perfect for your next BBQ lunch or dinner.
Our Bachelor Shiraz 2018 Shiraz can be drunk now, but it can also easily wait up to 10 to 15 years in bottle (2033). For me it's looking amazing now but in about 8 years it will be at it's peak so grab a few for your wine rack!
The wine and food pairing increases the creaminess and volume of the wine. It reveals the true side of an Atze’s Corner Wine: generosity and voluptuous.
The juiciness of the meat highlights the varietal profile of the Shiraz grape variety, towards the pepperiness and the red berries.

Serves 4 people
Make the mashed potatoes.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Peel, wash and cut the potatoes in half. Add them to the boiling water and cook for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
Drain the potatoes. Return to the pot and mash them with the butter. Add the milk while stirring until it’s smooth. Add the parmesan and mix well. Salt and pepper to your taste.
Make the garlic brussels sprouts.
Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Wash and cut the Brussel sprouts in half. Part-cook them in the water for 8 minutes. Drain straight away and keep aside until they cool down.
In a large fry pan, add the olive oil until hot. Carefully add the reserved Brussel sprouts and cook them until golden brown on medium-high flame. Add the crushed garlic cloves, salt and pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes until it’s fragrant.
Cook the T-bones to your liking over coals or charcoal. We recommend cooked “rare” to enhance all the flavour of the dish. Salt and pepper as soon they’re off the heat.
When the meat is cooked, plate the warm potato mash and the Brussel sprouts on the side. Top the potatoes with the T-bone. Serve yourself a nice glass of Bachelor 2018 Barossa Valley Shiraz and enjoy.

New Release: Atze’s Bachelor 2018 Shiraz
Comments will be approved before showing up.
From its origins as a grape bred for disease resistance to its rise to prominence in California and Australia, Durif has carved a path of distinction.
From California to Rutherglen and beyond now to the Barossa, its velvety texture, dark fruit flavors, and hints of pepper leave a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to experience it.
Atze’s Corner Wines are excited to announce they have partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects to fund their reforestation and poverty alleviation efforts worldwide.
For every single bottle of Atze’s wine sold (domestically and internationally), a tree will be planted thanks to this initiative and collaboration between the Barossa Valley winery and the charity organisation.
Welcome to this months recipe and wine of the month, this is something a little more special being a back vintage wine from a vintage (2013) which is proving to be one that rewards patience of cellaring.
The vibrancy of the wine intensifies the dish. The match was so good that the bottle could be easily finished (or was) by the end of the meal.
