Critic reviews

James Halliday – A beautiful, full-bodied shiraz, awash with dark, coal-like, licorice-lashed flavour and bristling with spice-shot tannin. We have a real contender here. Coffee ground and earth-like notes add to the wine's drama. Drinking this is like stepping into a deep, dark pool. - Campbell Mattinson

Description

VINEYARD
Fruit for this wine was hand-picked from old vines rooted in the red dirt of the Ebeneezer and Kalimna subregions at the northern end of the Barossa Valley.

WINEMAKING
Our approach here follows the philosophy for handmade winemaking employed across all of our wines. Specifically for this Shiraz: cold-soaking and hand-plunging in open fermenters, and cool-fermentation between 18ºC and 24ºC, to preserve fruit flavours and characteristics; wild fermentation and extended maceration, for greater complexity; and maturation in a combination of new and old French oak, before blending via barrel-selection for optimal flavour and texture in accordance with our own house style.

THE WINE
This Shiraz is an intensely flavoured, rich wine, inky black to purple in colour. It displays dark berry fruit flavours, and has the texture and structure that will reward extended cellaring.

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.
