"Sweetly ripe and beautifully fragrant with dark berry, warm spice, olive and cedar characters, it's beautifully rounded on the palate offering succulent fruit flavours with supple texture and fine-grained tannins. Medium-full and generously textured with a lingering tasty finish. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2023

Rich, vibrant red with purple hue. Stunning aromas of ripe sweet berries coupled with a floral, violet perfume and decadent chocolate suggestions. Harmoniously balanced with brooding fruits and carefully integrated French oak, this wine offers intense blackberries and dark plums with a lingering spicy finish.

Fruit was harvested from 25 year old vines in an exceptional vineyard site in the Grampians on the 12th April 2021. The vineyards are situated on granitic sand and rock, which give the wine notable terroir.

Tonnages were kept low, (approximately 1.5tonnes/acre) to allow for maximum quality and flavour. The must was placed in small open pot fermenters and allowed to ferment naturally. The pots were then hand plunged every 8 hours for the duration of the ferment. Once the ferment was dry, the resulting wine was pressed off the skins and given time to settle before allowing a natural secondary fermentation to commence. Separate parcels of the wine spent 24 months in French oak puncheons, after which the final blending of select parcels took place. 

Food Pairing: This Shiraz is a wonderful partner to char grilled steak, rich red meat dishes and hearty pastas. Its wide appeal makes it a perfect dinner party wine with your nearest and dearest.
