Trent Burge grew up a keen cricketer and footballer, revelling in the camaraderie and competition of local teams. He followed this passion to England, spending several years playing seasons of cricket and returning home to work Barossa vintage. Double Trouble blends two outstanding regional varieties in tribute to the boy’s time in this ‘double life’ of one endless summer.
Shiraz Cabernet is the classic Australian wine duo, boldly generous yet approachable. To bring out the best from the Barossa region, we combine valley-floor Shiraz with cool climate Cabernet Sauvignon, from a family-owned vineyard in neighbouring Eden Valley.

Vintage
2022
Variety
65% Shiraz | 35% Cabernet Sauvignon
Vintage Summary
2022 saw a cooler than average growing season that led to extended ripening conditions and retention of natural acidity. As a result, patience was required to wait for optimum harvest dates ensuring full flavour development and acid balance was reached. Patience was rewarded with outstanding flavours and varietal definition with exceptional quality across all white varietals.
Maturation
Once the varietals are blended, the wine is transferred to a combination of American and French oak hogsheads for 14 months before bottling (unfined and unfiltered)
Tasting Notes
This vibrant, deep red wine with purple tinges showcases a youthful appearance. It features a rich, fruit-driven aroma, combining lifted blackcurrant and cool spearmint from the cabernet with intense raspberry and sweet cinnamon spice from the shiraz. The palate echoes this harmony, blending shiraz's bold fruit with the sleek tannins of cool-climate cabernet, all balanced seamlessly with fine French oak for a well-rounded finish.
