Technical Analysis
A magical marriage of the best 20 year old Australian Shiraz vines on a single vineyard estate, overseen by renowned Barossa winemaker Kym Milne.
Tasting note
A full bodied and richly textured Shiraz, with vibrant blackberry and mulberry fruit characters combining with sweet oak nuances in a smooth, rich and well structured palate and finishing with ripe, lingering soft tannins.
Vinification details
Different sections of the vineyard are selected depending on quality, and each batch fermented separately in small open fermenters. The wine is then basket pressed and aged in the finest new and one year old French and American oak barrels for 18 months.

Vintage conditions
The 2019 vintage was a very low cropping vintage, the lowest yields for 10 years. A dry winter with some frosts reduced the yield and the hot summer conditions that followed meant there was no disease pressure. As a result, small volumes of very high quality, highly flavoured Shiraz were produced.
