Description
This exceptional single-site Shiraz is made from antique vines that were planted in 1919 on the world famous soils of the Barossa Valley floor.
This blend has a cool spectrum of cedar and fresh herbs mingled with eucalypts and seasonal red berries, powdery spices and earthiness. Certainly not lacking in any concentration, it’s all about the fruit delivery.
The palate is tightly wound with a generous selection of mixed red fruits, great acid and tannins, to see it cellar well for the medium term.
Matured for 21 months in 33% new French barriques, American and Hungarian hogsheads, balance in older French, Hungarian and American barriques and hogsheads.
