Deep, bright red-purple hue; intense spice aromas layered with graphite and ironstone; a touch of dark chocolate too. It's rich in the mouth, full-bodied and deep, with some alcohol warmth and a powerful, emphatic finish that rolls on and on. Deep core of black fruit-sweetness. Superb wine. 05 FEB 2023 Drink 2023–2038

As the label says, this is old vine shiraz and it shows with plum, mushroom, earth, and moss aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied with round and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Strawberry, dark cherry, meat and spice at the end. Real shiraz character. Why wait? Drink now. Screw cap.

Very small parcels of fruit from vineyards up to 100 years old are hand-picked, fermented with some whole-bunches and blended to make this traditional Barossan wine. Racked once during maturation of 12 months in larger barrels (some new). Showing all the richness of fruit you would expect from Barossan Shiraz at its best. Fruit sources in 2019 are from the following: 70 y.o. Marananga Shiraz. 100 y.o. Flaxman Valley Shiraz.
