This exceptional wine is an exquisite fusion of handpicked Shiraz parcels hailing from the esteemed Blewitt Springs, Willunga, and McLaren Flats districts of the Vale. The 2019 vintage blessed us with ideal conditions, granting balanced vines, optimal crop levels, and a magnificent array of color and flavor. Shiraz, a regional standout, revealed its impressive attributes, exhibiting fine acidity, vibrant fruit flavors, and expressive varietal characteristics. The winemaking process involved fermenting the grapes on skins, utilizing a combination of open and closed fermenters, followed by maturation in French oak barrels for 12-14 months. The harmonious integration of oak and luscious, juicy fruit flavors has delighted us. Noteworthy for its soft and fleshy texture, this Shiraz presents a delightful tasting experience. Savor it now until 2030 or beyond, relishing its timeless appeal..

"Dusty, dark chocolate oak frames baking cherry and blueberry on this chiseled, linear Shiraz. It's underpinned by savory spice, bay leaf, ground black pepper and dried violet. The palate is a touch austere at the moment, cinched by chalky, fine tannins and with elevated acidity. It should soften with more time in the bottle. Overall a solid expression of this variety and region."
