Battle of Bosworth White Boar 2024

Battle of Bosworth's flagship, made by cordon-cutting the vines so the certified-organic Shiraz dries and concentrates on the vine for ten to twelve days before picking — the Amarone trick, transplanted to McLaren Vale. The result is dense and hedonistic: black fruits, dark chocolate and licorice with leathery notes and a hint of black olive, matured in big old oak so the fruit stays in front. Full-bodied, plush and powerful, with generous tannins and a long finish built for cool nights and hearty food.

White Boar begins with organically grown McLaren Vale Shiraz. Battle of Bosworth cordon-cuts the vines after the grapes reach flavour and sugar ripeness. The fruit dries on the vine, concentrating flavour and acidity before harvest.

The Shiraz ferments slowly in open vessels after picking. This is the producer's fuller, plush White Boar style, with black fruit, dark chocolate, liquorice and black olive from the supplied product data. Old oak keeps the fruit in view rather than adding heavy wood flavour. The 2024 won the Trophy for Best Organic Shiraz and a Gold medal at the 2025 Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.
