Tasting Notes

Aroma

This wine has loads of blueberry and black olive character on the nose.

Appearance

Vibrant purple colour.

Palate

The whole bunch component gives a dried herb character to the wine and adds freshness to the palate. It is particularly generous in red and dark fruit thanks to the moderate and longer growing season of 2024.

Vinification

A small amount of whole bunch & fermented in both small & medium sized open fermenters using wild yeast. A combination of hand plunging and pump overs allowed for gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannins. After 12 days on skins the wine was pressed and put to medium and large French oak for 10 months. The wine was blended and bottled with no fining.

Cellaring Potential

Ready to drink now or cellar for 5 to 10 years.

Winemakers Comments

Story behind the label: The owl connects to our property, where we have regular Tawny Frogmouth visitors, especially in and around our G and H Shiraz blocks. The upside-down house symbolises the fact that this is our entry level, 'house' Shiraz, but flipped on its head. Lighter, fresher and a drink now style that is an attempt at writing a new chapter in the Barossa Shiraz history book.

Region Notes

85% of this fruit comes off of G & H block here on our Estate, that we have grown organically since 2013 and biodynamically since 2017. The remaining 15% comes from the Rocky Vale vineyard in vine vale on sandy soil.
