• French & American oak
• Dark fruit & berries
• Chocolate & spices
• Great poise

"An artisanal bouquet with scents of ripe dark raspberry and black currant, sweet vanilla scented oak, raw sugar and some peppery spices of fruit then smoky layers of wood selection. Youthful on the palate with a core of fruit reflecting the bouquet, an abundance of tannins layering in texture and a fine grainy mouthfeel. A delicious wine ready to drink today, but will continue to age and develop if cellared. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028+" Cameron Douglas Master Sommelier, Nov 2021

Dark crimson red with purple hues. Simultaneously delicate yet dense. The bright berry characters derived from whole bunch fermentation balance beautifully with the darker more brooding iodine and peat notes from traditional long duration skin contact. There is great poise on the palate, starting with dark fruit before moving through to more savoury notes, then finishing with well resolved tannins and nuances of new French and American oak. A very complex nose exhibiting sub-regional notes of chocolate and spices on the savoury spectrum, with bursts of plum, dark berry and bright whole bunch fermentation characters.

A complex and characterful Barossa Shiraz exhibiting modern winemaking techniques, overlayed on a traditional and subregional core. Sourced from magnificent old vines in the Southern Barossa, careful cellaring will see this wine develop elegantly for up to 20 years.

Sourced entirely from old vine blocks in the Southern Barossa, which are known to impart regional savoury flavours of dark chocolate and spice as well as dark berry and cherry fruits. The vine age produces small, low yielding crops with intensely flavoured berries, which lend dense red colour and ripe sweet tannins to the wine.

Food Pairing: Rare beef rib eye with Bearnaise sauce.
