About this Wine

2023 saw a much later start to vintage due to higher-than-average winter rains followed by mild spring and summer temperatures. Above-average yields also added to the slow ripening time. The lovely, aromatic, balanced whites and elegant, structured, somewhat spicier, peppery reds reflect the mild conditions. The wet start to the growing season added disease pressure with downy mildew reducing the crop, and botrytis reared its head in late-ripening vineyards.

Harvest finished in early May, and it was a struggle to fully ripen some of our Eden Valley reds. Overall, 2023 was a cooler and fresher vintage expression, and we missed out on some of our premium parcels of Eden Valley fruit. On the plus side, our dams in the Eden Valley are full for a change!

Colour: Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.

Aroma: A rich bouquet of red and blue fruits, clove and cedar, entwined with hints of violets, sweet spice, roasted and savoury notes.

Palate: Rich and juicy raspberry and Satsuma plum fill the mouth, with sweet spice adding to the complexity. The fruit is well balanced with hints of bramble and pepper and textural, fine-grained tannins on the lengthy finish.

Cellaring: 2025–2040

Food match: Rabbit stifado; pork or duck roast; mushroom risotto; roasted vegetable tartlet; mature cheese platter

Barossa Valley Wine

The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.

A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.

Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
