A premium shiraz from one of the iconic producers of the region. A rich bouquet of prunes, liquorice and plums lures you into a dense world of fruit flavours wrapped up in oak. This is a great wine that will make for exceptional ageing over the next 10 years or more. Try it with hearty winter red meat dishes or vegetable moussaka.

Tasting Note
Aroma

The wine is exceptionally poised with characteristic layers of red and black fruits, floral notes, tar, gun flint and excellent balance and concentration.

James Halliday Wine Companion 2018, August 2017
Fermented in a combination of open and closed fermenters this brightly coloured and complex wine has red and black fruits, a little fresh earth and the oak (French 20% new) has been beautifully handled. There is good depth of fruit on the tightly wound palate and this just needs 6 months to open up a little and then another 7-10 years plus for it to really hit its straps. (Philip Rich)
