Campbells The Brothers Shiraz is rich, deep red. A rich, lifted nose with notes of dark plums and clean, fresh oak highlights. Full bodied, powerful & velvety smooth with concentrated
black plum and cherry. Carefully selected oak adds a touch of earth and spice with finely, grippy tannins providing balance and length. A powerful wine with the natural building blocks to age and develop in bottle. The
2016 The Brothers Shiraz has undergone extended maturation in both barrel and bottle prior to release. This time has allowed the fruit, oak and tannins to fully integrate and deliver a truly memorable Rutherglen Shiraz.
Whilst approachable now, this complex and structured wine will reward those with the patience to cellar to 2026 and beyond..
After fermentation for 10 days using closed fermenters, the wine was aged
in French oak puncheons for a period of 2.5 years.

Campbells Wines- The winery and vineyards are situated in the historic Rutherglen Wine Region of North East Victoria.

This region is predominately a fortified wine area, with the unique styles of fortified Muscat and Tokay (often termed as Australia’s most distinctive wines). Lindsay Brown a pastoralist, first planted vines in the 1850s following advice from newly arrived German settlers. His lead was followed by a group of retired miners who established wineries that to this day bear their names, Campbell’s Winery, Gehrig Wines, Morris Wines and G. Sutherland Smith & Sons. Many of the wineries and vineyards today were established before the turn of the 19th century. The climate is regarded as warm. The main wine styles: Rich fortified Muscats & Tokays; Port – hugh tannic reds requiring many years’ cellaring to come into balance.
flourish in a range of climates. In the warm to hot climates you can expect extremely intense aromatic, rich, full bodied wines, with hugh fruit (almost sweet) and chocolately tasting. In the more moderate/cooler climates you’re more likely to find structured Shiraz wines with black cherry, pepper and spice characters rather than the chocolate and fruit styles found in warmer climates.
