"Offering excellent fruit purity, the wine shows blackberry, violet, olive, vanilla and hazelnut characters on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that's plump and lingering. It's upfront and flavoursome with plenty of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2025" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2020

"Deep red colour with a good purple tint, and an aroma of very ripe, slightly stewed mulberry fruit. The palate texture is drying, savoury and almost chewy, the tannins a mite clunky. Very ripe and big, with a nerve of tangy acidity running through. The palate is firm and drying and the bright acidity helps to leave the mouth refreshed" Huon Hooke, Real Review, May 2020

Classic and distinct nose that typifies the McLaren Vale – a wondrous swathe of red and dark fruits with hints of chocolate and mocha. Delicious Shiraz palate in full flight with layers off dark fruit concentration, great weight and texture, a hint of complexing oak and a long, robust finish.

Sourced from 15 year old vineyards in the McLaren Vale from vineyards that see no herbicides or pesticides - the result is pure Shiraz fruit that sees just a small amount of irrigation.

Vintage 2018 will be remembered for one of excellent quality. The abundant rainfall towards the end of 2017 meant healthy vines but a dry start to 2018 ensured vines were disease free. Summer and Autumn were dry but those who struggled used irrigation to cover the shortfall. Summer temperatures were warm with cool nights meaning an even fruit set and superb conditions at picking time.

Sourced from low yielding organic Shiraz vines primarily in McLaren flats (a cooler part of the Vale). After fermentaiton consigned to barrel for 6 months in 20% new French oak and the rest in older large format barrels. Quality fruit handled well like this will ensure comfortable cellaring for 5-10 years.

A premium Shiraz from one of Australia’s most lauded and loved regions – McLaren Vale. Winemaker Corey Ryan has made an organic Shiraz with 70% fruit sourced from the alluvial soils of McLaren Flats and 30% from Tatachilla that is known for its red, loamy soil. Hard to find premium organic Shiraz is hard to come by but this is a top shelf rendition.

Food Pairing: Pair it with a sirloin steak.
