Buy OnlineWinery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Dark crimson with violet hues. Fragrant aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, blueberries, rose petal, anise, mace, with hints of black pepper, cedar, sage and charcuterie. The palate is rich, plush and complex with blue fruits, mulberry, violets and plum, balanced by layers of fine velvety tannins delivering great depth and length.
100% shiraz from up to 70 year-old, low-yielding vines grown in the Barossa (Eden Valley and Barossa Valley regions). Matured in 14% new and 86% seasoned French oak hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling."
5 Stars & 96/100 Stuart Knox, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Ink black core into a deep purple rim. Mulberry, violets and iodine aromatics. Palate is weighty with ripe purple fruits that glide with serious class and distinction. Some anise spice and nori notes sit underneath and while the glide is silky, the tannins are still powerful and persistent. A very finely wrought wine that carries prodigious length."
96/100 Ray Jordan, WinePilot.com, February 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"This was an excellent vintage in the Barossa and this exceptional wine from 70-year-old low yielding vines is a beautiful expression of the season. Dark plummy dark chocolate characters with a dry dusty complexity. The palate is sublimely integrated and balanced, exhibiting poise and style. The sweet fruit on the middle palate is complemented by the minerally oyster shell edge. Terrific wine."
96/100 Andrew Calliard MW, December 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Lifted black cherry, blackberry aromas with sesame, cedar, mocha, hint vanilla notes. Generous and well-rounded wine with plentiful pure black cherry, blackberry fruits, fine persistent chocolaty tannins and underlying mocha/ vanilla notes. Finishes bitter-sweet and minerally. Decant to blow off slight reduction and you will be rewarded, A very fine Barossa shiraz showing lovely aromatics, very good volume and fruit/ oak integration. "
95/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front, December 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Barossa Shiraz in its pomp. This is a shiraz with its eyes on magnificence. It bold, it’s structured, it’s generous and it’s seductive, but savouriness too has been accommodated. Sweet plums, clove notes, woodsmoke, fistfuls of roasted spice, oodles of fruit, whispers of mint, a freshness, a fullness, a persistence. The whole box and dice, served neat, served beautiful."
