Written Notes

Incredible ancient vines are in play for this gorgeous Shiraz. Centenarian bush vines, ungrafted, the grapes are fermented in small open fermenters with hand plunging up to four times a day. Basket pressing and then a couple of years maturing in French oak. 

Ther colour is near black maroon. This is plush, ripe and serious, but seriously delicious. Generous flavours that are simply saturated. The nose shows us coffee grinds, black fruits, soy, aniseed, cloves mocha and plums. Good acidity runs the full journey and the wine is balanced, focused and offers excellent intensity, with sleek tannins. Hard to imagine anyone thinking that this is anything other than a cracking Barossa Shiraz. it simply screams of its origin. Now for fifteen to twenty years. 96.
