Smells of Provence herbs, sea spray, a doughy thread, yellow peaches, and orchard fruits. On the palate, it builds with nuance rather than dominance. Think yellow apples, peaches, citrus fruits and zest, a stony minerality come through, alongside a subtle note of wild fennel. Hand picked, wild yeast, time on skins 10 hours.
Sub-region: Bethany

Fragrant bursts of apple, pears and hints of citrus. Smooth and crisp, yet a creamy twist on the palate. Fresh, fruity, and balanced.

The 2024 Rosé gives the first impression of fruit sweetness and while it shows amazing fruit generosity it is unquestionably dry.
65% Grenache | 35% Mataro

Sweetly ripe and fragrant, the bouquet shows dark plum, blackberry, smoked game, and floral aromas with a hint of dark chocolate. It’s equally appealing in the mouth, offering succulent fruit intensity backed by silky texture and elegant tannins, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2033.

92 POINTS - Campbell Mattinson, The Winefront 2025
An unfussy, medium bodied expression of Grenache here. A lot of raspberries up front on the nose, both fresh as well as jelly Snakes/raspberry frogs, Turkish Delight, and potpourri/dried flowers.
93 POINTS - Brendan Black, Winepilot 2024
91 POINTS - Steve Q, Qwine 2024
This immediately appeals to the nose with black/blueberry, liquorice, warm spice, and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a generously textured palate offering plump mouthfeel and supple tannins. Beautifully rounded and silky with a lingering, succulent finish. At its best: now to 2035.
93 POINTS - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit 2024
93 POINTS - Ken Gargett, Wine Pilot 2025
Wonderfully complex and engaging, the bouquet shows dark berry, bay leaf, cured meat and toasted almond notes, leading to a gorgeously supple palate that's expansive and persistent. Well supported by refined texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing long and structured.

The Meta Shiraz fruit is carefully selected from a few vineyards with rocky or hard growing soils. This gives the fruit (and therefore the wine) a brighter, blue fruited and more tightly tannic style.
Growers: this vintage is sourced from ten different growers, across seven sub-regions in the Barossa.

The family Grenache block on Thiele Road in Bethany remains one of Jason’s favourite blocks. The first vintage of the Thiele Road Grenache was made by Jason Schwarz in 2002 and celebrates his love of this diverse variety. The gnarled, old vines were planted in 1941 and they produce fantastic fruit.

The Nitschke Road Shiraz block was planted by my mother and father in 1968 in Bethany near the base of the Eastern Barossa Range. The vineyard is still pruned and picked by hand and the soils of loam over brown and red clays results in a wine of considerable concentration and drive.
Rich, opulent fruit is the reoccurring theme with this vineyard and it always seems to show great balance and texture year in, year out.
The Nitschke Block Shiraz was the first wine made by Jason Schwarz back in 2001.

Why Gratitude? My parents were of a brave generation that rejected government cash offers to remove old Barossa vineyards in the 1980’s. Their determination to preserve their vines driven by an unwavering belief in their potential to produce exceptional wine has become their legacy. Not only of vineyards, but also admirable character and faith. This wine symbolises my gratitude for their resilience. The very best Shiraz of vintage.
"This special patch of fruit was handpicked off the family vineyard. There was just something that stood out to me each time I went back to sample this specific Hogshead Barrel…and I knew this would be the next addition to my Single Barrel Selection range. I allowed the wine to mature in new French oak for two years, taking on characteristics of a true Barossa Shiraz. I am excited to finally share this wine with you." Jason Schwarz.
The bottles are packaged in either single or three-bottle gift boxes. Each one is beautifully presented in a kraft gift box, lined with black tissue paper, and includes a hand-signed note card from Jason.
