Written Notes

The team’s Reserve is a barrel selection from the harvest of their oldest blocks of Barossa Shiraz, and only made in the best vintages. 2021 is categorically one of those ‘best vintages’. The oak used to mature the wine will be a mix of new French and American hogsheads and the time spent in them will be up to two and a half years. Under cork. 

Not surprisingly, there is a serious oak influence in this wine, but it is integrating superbly. The colour is an opaque maroon. This is a big, bold and delicious red, richly flavoured. Mocha, soy, coffee beans, dark chocolate, cassis, beefstock, licorice and axle grease. Fine acidity here, running the length, silky but rather abundant tannins and great length. This is a twenty year proposition. 96.
