James Halliday
The wine comes from a vineyard 20km away from home and is gloriously rich and velvety while not losing the Grampians stamp. Black cherry and plum fruits fill the mouth, making this an each-way special. Points: 95/100

Tasting Notes
Aroma
Boysenberry, blackberry and cherry fruits, laced
with cocoa, clove and pepper spice.
Palate
Intense red and black cherry fruits dominate the
palate, heightened by the growing presence of blue
florals and pepper spice. Chewy tannins, subtle oak
and fine acidity achieve great length and balance.
Vinification
Hand picked and fermented in 2tn open
fermenters.
100% destemmed. Initial pump over for the
first few days and then plunged twice daily.
Wild ferment, on skins for roughly two weeks.
Vintage Notes
2021 was a cool, low cropping year, resulting in small bunches
with loads of intensity. The Shiraz was harvested in April post Easter
and fermented in open static fermenters, plunged by hand twice a day
for lovely colour and tannin extraction.
Some whole bunch provides lifted aromatics and spice.

Black plum, dark chocolate, gum leaf and mint. It’s a rich and dark wine, all liquorice and dark chocolate, with a fair bit of spice, almost like a (proper) panforte in a way, with cocoa tannin and a finish of good length. Rich. Flavoursome. Points: 92/100
