Wine Description
The Story
The Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz was named after original plans for the site which was to be a cemetery within Pokolbin, however it was never used as such. The first single vineyard selection for the Graveyard Vineyard was in 1983.
Originally planted with Shiraz and Cabernet, the heavy clay soil resulted in vintages of low yield but with extraordinary concentration of flavour in the berries, providing a distinctive and premium wine style.
Vintage 2000
The winter 2000 in Australia was quite dry and Spring was cold and miserable. Summer and Autumn had a few rainfalls through them, with temperatures were normal. The results were very low crops producing wines of nice fruit character and extremely juicy but not particularly tannic (below average). The wines are lovely fruit wines.
