The Shiraz produced from this vineyard is the epitome of the world renowned style that is Barossa Valley Shiraz. The wine is rich and generous in fruit: plum, dark cherry and blackberry. It provides a deep, dark svelte tannin backbone and mouth-coating palate. The wine stands alone in intensity, opulence and concentration of flavour. It is a style unique to the world of wine – the style that put Australian wine in the realm of global fine wine – and a style which we are truly proud to be its upholders of.
Expert Notes
Wine Enthusiast: 96
From 110-year-old vineyards, this is classic premium Barossa Shiraz. It’s open and expressive right from the first sniff. The nose is rich and heady, billowing cherry, chocolate, plum and licorice with a savory, earthy spine of bay leaf, mint and smoke. The tannins are granular and fine, framed by tangy, intense fruit and a stony mineral streak. Plush but linear and lifted, it should live on for decades. Drink through 2045.
