| Vintage | Great to see timely rainfall throughout the Barossa with falls being during critical times of the vines production thoughout the growing season. A mild vintage for the allowing of flavours to slowly build with excellent acid retention to aid in the wines freshness. The cool clay loam gully showed good canopy to protect the small intense fruit making this 2021 release a delicious densely decadent fruited shiraz that graces the path of its heritage. |
| Style | A densely poised fruited shiraz that graces the path of its heritage. Showy dark fruits with its silky, textured, powerful and graceful flavours. Wonderful stuff! |
