Hand-picked, 30% whole bunches, 7 days cold soak, open-fermented, 14 days on skins, hand-plunged, matured in French puncheons (50% new) for 14 months, 150 dozen made. A totally compelling wine with its multiplicity of messages, half deriving from the terroir and vintage, half from the vinification. It is at once savoury/earthy/leathery and brightly fruited, the fragrance superb, the medium-bodied palate with an overarching drive to its predominantly red fruits.'

Cold soak followed by 10 days on skins, 20% whole bunches the remainder crushed and destemmed, matured in French hogsheads and puncheons for 12 months, 4 years in bottle before release. Terrific crimson hue; the top class vintage is developing precisely as a top class Hunter Valley shiraz should. The fruit is supple and smooth, the blackberry and black cherry flavours still pristine, the wine with decades of life in front of it. Exceptional.
