Tasting - 100% Shiraz - 76% Barossa Valley 24% Eden Valley. Opaque with dark Aubergine core. Lifted aromas of blueberry, mulberry, blackberry and black plum leap from the glass and meld effortlessly with graphite, sandalwood, liquorice and dark cocoa chocolate. On first sip the palate is welcoming and plush with black and blue fruits and soft round tannins. The fruit and acid intermingle nicely across the textured mouthfeel without any harshness or bitterness. 18 months in new (25%) and seasoned French oak. A true pleasure that will reward for twenty years but probably best in the first ten. Ready from 2025. Serve at 16C with Texas BBQ rib, or any of your favourite steaks.
Vintage - The 2023 growing season brought above-average rainfall in winter and spring and a cooler summer. The majority of the harvest took place in the colder months, and most vineyards were not harvested until April, approximately one month later than usual. Cooler seasons can pose several challenges, but through our dedicated commitment to viticulture practices, such as hand pruning and harvesting with careful soil management, the vintage resulted in low-yielding and resilient fruit. The vintage has resulted in very strong wines from the Eden and Barossa Valleys, with bright colours and freshness from higher natural acidities, auguring them towards greater longevity and detail across the palate.
