A blockbuster red from the iconic shiraz producing Barossa Valley. It’s inky black in colour, with brooding aromas of dark berry fruit, briar, fragrant spice and a hint of aniseed. The succulent full palate is laden with rich blood plum and crushed mulberry fruit, velvety dark chocolate, coffee bean and clove spice. Typical Barossa earthiness and meaty, smoky complexity combine with velvety tannins to complete this youthfully brash shiraz with boundless potential to age gracefully for another 8 years or more. A great food wine, this red is perfectly suited to hearty winter casseroles, a premium cut of rare beef or a good vintage cheddar.

Tasting Note
Aroma

Blackberries and plum skin aromas, typical of a Barossa Shiraz, with an unusual hint of blueberry in there too. Fragrantly supported by baking spices, black olive, dark chocolate and graphite.

Palate

A medium bodied wine, but still with distinctive power and concentration of refined primary fruits. Fantastic lively & textural tannins, supporting the fruit, right through to the finish.

From a single vineyard in Marananga, 3 days cold soak, open-fermented, matured for 18 months in French and American hogsheads (30% new). Great colour; a particularly good example of single vineyard Barossa Valley shiraz, picked before any sign of overripeness, thus taking full advantage of the great vintage. The oak handling was just where it should be.
