Description
Perhaps one of our proudest releases, the Holy Grail Shiraz is an intensely aromatic wine with an elegance and length on the palate that is truly captivating. Its name is inspired by the Monty Python movie and our quest to find the perfect vineyard site.
The first part of this site was purchased in 2008 and included 52 acres of vacant land. The vision was to wait until resources permitted and plant this area of land as specifically as possible. Just before the 2015 vintage, a further 37 acres of land were purchased, which included 16 acres of established shiraz vines. This established block produced 27 tonnes in its first 2015 vintage, the Shiraz sourced was later barrel classified by Michael & our winemaking team into Ares, Holy Grail, and a few barrels to Bella’s Garden.
