Tomfoolery Artful Dodger Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 - 6 Bottles

Product Description

Winery Overview

Tomfoolery is a small, independently run winery based in the Barossa Valley. The team works closely with trusted local growers, sourcing fruit from older, sustainably managed vineyards across the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Their focus is on honest, minimal-intervention winemaking that reflects vineyard character, regional identity and purity of fruit.

Region & Vintage Conditions
The 2022 season in the Barossa Valley was mild with cool nights, producing Shiraz with deep colour, ripe fruit concentration and balanced acidity. These conditions allowed for steady ripening, expressive aromatics and fine tannin development.

Source
Fruit is drawn from selected Barossa Valley Shiraz blocks known for low yields, intensity and classic regional richness, with parcels chosen for structure and depth.

Winemaking
Hand-picked fruit was fermented with gentle handling to preserve brightness and natural texture. Maturation in a mix of seasoned and select new oak helped refine tannins and add subtle spice without overshadowing the fruit-driven style.
