About this Wine

This wine used to be made with 100% American oak, but we find that the focus has been sharpened by a move to seasoned French oak, with just 10% new American oak in the mix. The nose gives a cool, spicy impression with a herbal tinge over red cherries and darker fruits. The palate is relatively calm and sleek with good definition. It’s medium-bodied and straight through the mouth, with some tighter blue fruit and blackcurrant notes framed by silky but firm, spicy, currant-like tannins.

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.
