Tasting Notes

Maturation

On fine lees, 15% new French oak with 228L, 300L & 500L.

Palate

The 2024 has an extra layer of richness and texture and is our finest to date – it will blossom when approached by richer protein dishes.

Vinification

2t open top, indigenous yeast, two week ferment, hand-plunging & pump-pover twice daily.

Winemakers Comments

I am privileged to work with small parcels of fruit from old, dry-grown, hand-pruned and picked vineyards across the Barossa. We were utterly spoilt for choice in 2024 with many blocks across the Barossa & Eden Valley making a strong statement for inclusion in the ‘Old Vine’ Shiraz. At Ebenezer (Planted 1950s) we used the Riebke Schrapel Block as the base, then Mengler’s Hill Block 8b & 12 (Planted 1960s), Mattschoss Trial Hill (Planted 1940s) and finally a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon from Moculta (Planted 1980) & Ebenezer (Planted 1950).

Ink black core, deep purple tones at the rim. Mulberry, bitumen and crushed violets on the nose. Powerful and intense but with a sense of freshness throughout. Dark berry fruit and plum notes sit in the centre while anise, ironstone and hints of mocha add character and detail. Finely boned tannins carry it long and they tighten the long finish well. Still very youthful and it will reward cellaring. Points: 93/100
