This premium wine is a tribute to `JG`, his sons and grandsons who ran the Willows Hospital in Light Pass for more than 100 years. Sixth generation descendent, Peter Scholz now lives in the sprawling hospital building adjacent to The Willows Vineyard.
In the late 1960`s a small shiraz vineyard was planted and became known by the family as the Bonesetter`s block.
We selected premium parcels of fruit from this mature vineyard which were fermented in open fermenters, basket pressed before ageing the wine in very tight grained French Oak hogsheads for a little more than two years.
The Bonesetter shiraz shows typical Barossa voluptuous richness and structure, intense powerful ripe fruit along with supporting fine tannins and stylish savoury oak. It is a multi-layered powerhouse that will reward those who cellar it carefully.
