Shiraz with an average vine age of 70 years, sourced from the parishes of Lyndoch, Penrice, Stone Well, Tanunda and Light Pass. Aromas of red plum, blueberry and boysenberry are supported by hints of spice, violets, red licorice and medium cedary oak. Nicely weighted in the mouth with a sleek palate shape, bright acidity, a tight, fine tannin and a medium, red-fruited finish brushed with cedar and spice.

Ink black, fading to a deep purple rim. Mulberry compote, chocolate and cola spice aromas. A big attack of ripe black fruits sends the message of concentration early, it flows into a melange of dark spices, mocha, and char-oak depth. The tannins have a power to their grip that drives and dries out the finish well, bringing focus to what could be an unruly, ripe-fruit concentration 21 MAR 2022 Drink 2022–2034

2019 was the smallest vintage in twenty years due to a drier than average growing season with spring frosts. What little fruit there was ripened quickly in the hot, dry conditions of January and February, with a mad rush to pick before sugar levels became excessive. On the plus side, the lack of rainfall meant there was no disease pressure. The reds are bold, dark, rich and long-lived. Sadly, they are in very short supply.
Medium to deep crimson with purple hues. A rich bouquet of red and blue fruits, herbs and cedar, entwine with hints of sweet spice, roasted and savoury notes. Rich and juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum fill the mouth, with allspice sweetness adding to the mouthfeel. The fruit is well balanced with hints of briary spice and textural, fine-grained tannins on the lengthy finish.| Product/Service Sold Out | Yes |
