Description

  • Fine oak
  • Black/blueberry
  • Hazelnut & toasted spice
  • Silky finish

"Splendidly ripe and perfumed on the nose showing black/blueberry, violet, toasted spice and hazelnut characters, leading to a beautifully weighted palate offering velvety texture and plump mouthfeel. Generous and flavoursome with a lingering silky finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2022

"A medium-bodied red with berries, tobacco and wet earth with some mushroom. Flavourful and focused. Delicious. Real. Drink or hold" James Suckling, Nov 2022

The 2020 Shiraz is full of brambles and blue/black fruits with a spicy lift. Layers of brooding dark fruits, spice and savoury characters are framed in fine oak. The sinewy tannin profile pulls the wine through to a long and moreish finish.

Fruit is grown on our Yertabulti and Provis vineyards, situated at the northern end of the Clare Valley, this is the perfect climate for maturing our premium red grapes.

A long dry growing season lead to an early start to vintage. Above average temperatures lead to optimum flavour and tannin development in all red varieties. Quality is excellent.
