14 parcels from across the Eden (55%) and Barossa Valleys (45%) vinified with a multitude of techniques and an overarching 15 months maturation in French hogsheads (40% new). The oak is obvious, but so too is the depth of the blackberry and licorice fruit.

Blended from several Barossan sites, the 2018 Zephyrus Shiraz is a ripe, rich, concentrated offering that sells for a bargain considering the quality. Vanilla and mocha accent mixed berries on the nose, picking up hints of cinnamon, pepper and star anise along the way to a long, lush finish. Drink this full-bodied crowd-pleaser over the next 5-6 years.

Deep crimson in colour with a lifted bouquet of spicy wild berry fruits and dried Spring herbs. The palate is richly concentrated with a focused red fruit core surrounded by delicious, supple layered tannins.

An array of fermentation techniques were utilised, all involving extended skin contact and gentle hand-plunging. Each of the fermentations retained varying levels of whole-bunch fruit clusters from 5 to 50%, then after 20-25 days on skins each ferment was pressed into a mix of new (35%) and seasoned French oak hogsheads. After a maturation of 15 months the wine was blended, naturally clarified and bottled without finings or filtration.
