Handpicked from old, gnarly bush vines planted in 1889 in two acres of deep sandy loam soil over red-brown clay in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Year after year these ancestor vines give small quantities of exceptional grapes.
Medium red in colour. Aromas of red cherry, berry fruits, anise and milk chocolate are melded by complex herbs and spices. Medium weighted, this is a textural wine with depth, structure, vibrant acidity and prominent tannins. Stunning now, it will gradually evolve over the medium term.
