Aroma
Blackberries, dark cherry and plum skin
aromas, fragrantly supported by baking spices,
star anise, black olive, and dark chocolate.
Appearance
Deep garnet with a youthful violet hue.
Palate
A medium bodied plush wine, but still fresh and
distinctive with the power and concentration
of refined primary fruits. A core of blackberry
and plum, with fantastic lively & textural
tannins, supporting the fruit, right through to
the finish.
Vinification
The 2023 Shiraz is from a number of small
blocks in central and western ridge of Barossa
Valley. The fruit was machine picked with a
Selective harvester and crushed into small open
fermenters and remained on skins for 10 days.
The wine was then matured in new (20%) and
seasoned French oak barriques and hogsheads
for 12 months.
Food Matching
Well suited to a rare roasted saddle of venison
or try with a premium cut of rare dry-aged
beef. Also compliments a good vintage cheddar.
Region Notes
Sourced from two small blocks across the
central and western ridge of Barossa Valley.
Shiraz from the Barossa Valley has long been
held in high regards as one of Australia’s
premier producing regions. Its 19th Century
origins and early European settlers, particularly
of German and Silesian descent have created a
rich history in Australian wine.
