Shiraz was the first red grape variety planted in Langhorne Creek at Bleasdale in 1858 and continues to thrive today. Individual vineyard blocks are picked and crushed separately before maturation and blending.
Flavours of ripe plums and other dark berries are layered with liquorice, pepper and fresh spices, these marry beautifully with subtle oak nuances giving a complex wine balanced by smooth round tannins.
Matured for 12 months in French oak (22% new). A thoroughly inviting bouquet of mixed spices, purple and black fruits and cedary oak; the palate is likewise labrador-friendly, awash with plum and black cherry fruit, but retains its shape and focus. An ever-reliable wine that fully justifies its price. Trophy for Best Shiraz Langhorne Creek Wine Show, gold medal Adelaide Wine Show '16.
