Machine-harvested, whole berry fermentation with cultured yeast, 14 days on skins, matured in French hogsheads (30% new). This has the fullest body and most powerful tannins of the VSV Shirazs, the flavours of blackberry, plum, anise and tar.

Over the past decade, some special pockets of land have consistently stood out to the winemakers for their quality and individual character. Fruit from these vineyards was set aside, and made in small batches to highlight this character as single vineyard wines under the name “VSV” – Very Special Vineyards.
A very special wine from one of our grape growing families' vineyards. Aromas of Satsuma plum, blueberries and subtle French oak combined with cherry and dark chocolate flavours.
Deep red purple edge with a black core, aromas of satsuma plum, blueberries and subtle French oak. The palate shows layers of plum, cherry and dark chocolate leading to fine powdery tannins on the finish.
