Production
Hand harvested, destemmed and crushed into small 1.5 tonne open topped fermenters. The fruit was chilled for 6 days before being allowed to naturally warm to start fermentation. To optimise the vineyard expression a range of hand plunging cap management techniques were used across the different vineyard parcels. Post pressing, the wines were transferred to a combination of new and seasoned French oak hogsheads. Matured for 18 months in oak without racking, the wines were then carefully blended, naturally clarified and bottled without filtration.

Vivino ratings
Tasting notes
Deep garnet in colour with a complex array of black-cherry, plum and red-licorice aromas. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy with chewy textured tannins, finishing with polish and precision. The 2017 harvest was an exceptional Barossa vintage for old vine Shiraz, suggesting that this wine will mature well for many years to come.
