The fruit sourced for this wine comes from the sixth-generation Schiller Family vineyard at Hallett Valley in the Barossa. The 400 Shiraz vines planted by Carl August Otto Schiller in 1881 are something to be treasured.
Made from a mere 400 vines, planted in 1881. It's a hearty, deep-set, seductive wine with freshness kept paramount. It slinks along the tongue in satiny fashion, runs with the flavours of redcurrant, blackberry, coal and caramel, and trails impressively out through an extended finish. Barossa shiraz in all its glory. Straps of flavour-drenched tannin will help ensure a very long future.
Sourced from a vineyard at St. Hallett, dating from 1881. An aspirational 56% new French oak, wild ferment and a highly sensitive extraction period of five-days cold soak, fermentation and 30 days post fermentation maceration. Attenuated. Australian wine is often accused of being many things: one, is having no real tannin. Wines like this are a change for the better. This tastes more like a southern Rhone wine driven by Grenache, than Shiraz. Christmas cake, cherry bonbon, bitter chocolate and a potpourri of dried Mediterranean herb. Long, luxuriant and vinous, if not a bit sweet.
