About this Wine

This great red wine cuvée has a wonderful color saturation, almost black. Very aromatic on the nose with an enormous amount of fruit, fine oriental spices and a hint of licorice and slightly peppery notes. On the palate it is already very lush and complex. Despite its youthfulness, the fruit purity and concentration are excellent. Ripe red and black fruits en masse combine with fine mineral notes and the fine oriental spice notes that also recur on the palate. Very rich, long and elegant finish. The tannin and acid structure present suggests significant aging potential of at least 20 years. Recommendation: Decant at least 4 hours before drinking.

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.

Critic reviews

The Wine Front – "This is a deep, powerful red wine. Indeed this is top-end-of-town in terms of richness, though it’s not overdone and it feels both svelte and neat. But wow, what intensity. Blackberries, dark chocolate, cloves, earth, mint and fragrant, cooling herbs. It’s complete, it’s satisfying, it’s structured and yet it flows and it flows. You could drink this now, or in 20 years, and it would sing on demand." - Campbell Mattinson
