61/39% Eden/Barossa Valleys; 10–40% whole bunches; 15 months in French hogsheads (40% new). Deeply coloured; a finely structured wine of great class as befits the vintage, the whole bunches lifting the red-fruit aromatics on the predominantly blackberry/black cherry foundations.

Deep crimson in colour with an attractive mix of dark cherry fruits, red-licorice spice and a hint of wild violet aromas. The palate is equally attractive, with a rich concentrated and rounded mouthfeel, which finishes with vibrancy and freshness. A modern style Barossa Shiraz which will mature beautifully for many years to come.
