About this Wine

Crafted from select Barossa Valley vineyards, this modern Mediterranean blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Touriga celebrates vibrant fruit, fine structure and endless drinkability. A delicious & serious wine — bursting with flavour, texture and charm.

Colour: Deep ruby with crimson edges.

Bouquet: A lifted nose of raspberry, red plum and violets, laced with hints of five-spice, wild herbs and savoury earth.

Palate: Juicy red fruits from Grenache lead the charge, framed by the dark cherry depth of Shiraz and the exotic spice and fine aromatics of Touriga. Plush and slurpy yet structured — a bright, textural palate with crunchy acidity and a savoury, lingering finish.

Cellaring: Utterly delicious now but will evolve gracefully over the next 5–7 years.

Vintage: A cool, steady growing season delivered pristine fruit with excellent natural balance. Mild summer conditions encouraged slow, even ripening and fine flavour development, with Grenache retaining vibrant perfume and Touriga adding lift and spice. A vintage of freshness, depth and finesse — perfectly suited to this blend.

Vineyards: Sourced from old-vine Grenache and Shiraz in the western Barossa and Touriga from the Eden Valley foothills — grown on a mix of clay, ironstone and quartz soils between 280–360m elevation.

Vinification: Each variety was destemmed and fermented separately at 20–23°C for 7–9 days on skins, using gentle extraction techniques such as aerative pump-overs and drain-and-returns to enhance colour, flavour and texture. After pressing, the wines were transferred to seasoned French oak puncheons and puncheons for 10 months’ maturation sur lie before blending and bottling.

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.
