From 70yo shiraz vines, whole-berries and bunches, wild-yeast fermented in wooden vats, up to 20 days on skins, thence French oak maturation. It's elegant yet powerful, ripe blackberry, licorice and a touch of plum. However long you wait, it will be there waiting for you. Bargain.

All fruit was hand harvested. The proportion of whole clusters retained in the fermementations  varied from between 15% and 45%, equating to about 35 % in the final blend.  Vinified with indigenous yeasts, macerations ranged from between 10 and 30 days prior to pressing and elevage on light lees in French oak barrels, 20% new, in a range of sizes from 225 through to 2500 L.   Bottled  20 months after harvest.  Unfixed and unfiltered. Vegan friendly.
 
Deep, dark ruby A perfumed, dark fruited and multi-layered Barossa Valley Shiraz.    Deep, complex aromas of dark plum, ripe mullberry and confit cherry are overlain with a fine veneer of dried herb, brown cardamom, carbide and fresh leather.
 
Bright, very deep garnet, black core. Youthful, full bodied palate, richly tannic, velvety and long.  Strong dried black currant and dark cherry flavours on attack are framed with discreet notes wood ash, clove and warm loamy notes.   Soft, ripe fruit acids are present but the wine is driven by rich, weighty, mature fruit tannins that deliver texture and freshness.
