About this Wine

Deep soaking winter rains that trickled into spring provided a spectacular start to the growing season. The moist soils minimised the threat of frosts, followed with a mild spring at bud break made for a promising start to an incredible vintage. Despite its dryness, the growing season was relatively mild. Warm days, cool nights and little to no disease pressure gave rise to fruit rich in flavour and naturally high acid, all with relatively modest sugar levels. The wines produced from 2021 will drink well young and many, if allowed, will cellar well to remind us of the great vintage. One of the best vintages in the recent decade.

Semi-translucent crimson colour.

The bouquet is dominated by spice. Notes of cardamom, clove, dried herbs and dried violets are supported by a background of dark fruit, plum and blueberry. Mineral notes speak of the rugged slope on which the grapes grow.

The palate shows extreme precision. A tight, linear structure makes the wine almost electric. A vivid forest fruit impression interlaces with floral and herbaceous flavours.

Tension and beauty define this shiraz, with a long finish of exotic spices and velvety tannins.

Best decanted in its youth, this wine will develop gracefully over the next decade and beyond.

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.
