James Halliday – A blend of 70/30% shiraz/touriga nacional. Matured in older French oak. A deepish and bright crimson purple. A gateway to the brilliant Dry Red No. 3, this ain't no slouch with its appealing bouquet of dark fruits, black pepper and florals together with some touriga-derived ironstone. The palate is medium bodied and understated, with seamless tannins and a soft finish adding up to a great wine to drink now and over the next three to five years. – Philip Rich, March 2024

94 Points – Halliday Wine Companion
93 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review
The Shiraz brings an exotic floral fragrance and the juicy expansive fruit palate. Touriga naçional being naturally high in tannin brings a firm but friendly structure and spice to the blend. A violet perfume lifted nose, juicy mulberry fruits with aniseed spice. The wine is fleshy, intriguing with plenty of spice complexity neatly wrapped in a blanket of tannin.
Varietals Varietals: 70% Shiraz, 30% Touriga Naçional
Region Yarra Valley, Victoria.
Winemaking
Whole berry fermentation was employed with both varieties to encourage the fleshy fruit-full palate. Gentle hand plunging twice daily allows for careful tannin extraction. The individual components spent 9 months in old French oak barriques in our underground cellar before blending and bottling.
Vines
Shiraz sourced from our Salamenca block planted in 1995 and Touriga naçional sourced from a terraced block that sits above the Shiraz; planted in 1990 and 2013. When the 1990 Touriga naçional vines were planted, the land where it was grown was reclaimed from the encroaching bushland and dubbed the New Territories.

Yarra Valley Wine
The Yarra Valley wine region is the most important area of wine production in Victoria today, and with its proximity to Melbourne, also the most visited in the state.
Yarra Valley is split into the Upper Yarra and the valley floor. The Upper Yarra is cooler in climate due to its elevation and coupled with younger, fertile, red soils produces most of the region’s notable varietals: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The valley floor is warmer and has predominantly grey soils with pockets of granite and limestone.
Pinot noir has long been considered a notoriously difficult variety to grow. However, the cool climate and longer growing seasons of the Yarra Valley allow the fruit to develop full flavoured and ripe character.
Chardonnay in the past has long been associated with a deep oily, buttery style that experiences full malolactic fermentation and great amounts of oak. This style has since fallen out of favour and wine makers in the Yarra Valley have capitalized on this trend to produce leaner, acid driven Chardonnays that are closer in style to those from Burgundy.
