Always nice to see the grape growers get a call out on a wine label, they're the unsung heroes in this biz. Vibrant magenta-splashed crimson in the glass with bright blueberry and juicy plum notes, exotic spice, charcuterie, pressed flowers, licorice and a whiff of pepper. Sleek and vivid with an easy-drinking style, a bright line and fine gypsum-like tannins.

Concentrated and inky dark, with ironstone, black cherry and cedar. Proper Barossa Shiraz with very punchy aromatics, showing sweeter fruits once shown some air. Soft and pliant on the palate, nice sweet black fruits in the mix with plenty of Barossa’s signature fleshy texture.
The Grower range is a testament to the amazing growers Jason has forged long-term relationships with since 2001.
