This reminds us of the classic Australian reds of the 1950s and 1960s. Very deep and rich, yet so vibrant and youthful, this has fresh-herb and savory complexity alongside the black-fruit aromas. Great muscular tannins on the powerful palate give it wonderful vitality and clarity. Just a touch of eucalyptus. Very long finish with a wonderfully velvety texture. From vines planted in 1919. Excellent aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Drawn from a distinguished vineyard in the hamlet of Light Pass, The Steeple Shiraz is a true single vineyard wine. This wine is from biodynamically grown, low yielding centenarian vines planted in 1919. In the shadow of the Light Pass Immanuel Lutheran Church steeple, the roots of these old vines run deep into the ancient Barossa soils, yielding intensely flavoured Shiraz grapes to create a wine of richness, texture, concentration and length.
The Steeple Shiraz 2018 showcases the brooding depth and refined aromatics of the vintage. Fragrant violets, anise, dark cherry, red spices, plum, cranberry and pomegranate. Medium to full bodied, the wine is generous with fleshy red plum fruits, dark cherries, layered textures and fine powdery tannins to finish.
