Pepper, violets and earthy spices on the nose. Upon entry, a velvety richness engulfs the palate. Savoury flavours of salty licorice and red earth mix in with the florals and fruit. A fine yet firm rolling tannin creates the scaffolding needed for this ageworthy beauty. It's ripe and robust with an undertow of earthy minerals and freshness, giving it a kiss of modernity. A spicy Aussie shiraz of pedigree and charm.24 DEC 2022 Drink 2023–2033

Georgia’s Paddock: twelve hectares of Shiraz yielding about three tonnes per hectare (20hL per hectare). Three hectares of Riesling giving about three tonnes per hectare (20 hL per hectare). Both of these varieties were planted in 1975/76 with further small plantings completed after the vineyard was ravaged by bushfire in 1987. One hectare each of similarly low yielding Semillon planted in 1992, Nebbiolo planted in 1993, and Viognier planted in 2001.
