Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Select Shiraz parcels were fermented in small batches across a two-week period. Cool ferments ensured that maximum vibrancy and freshness was maintained in the wines. A small percentage of the wine saw French and American oak, adding complexity.
The 2021 Shiraz abounds with black fruit aromas of dark cherry, blackberry and just a touch of coffee and spice. These endless fruit characters follow onto the deep and rich palate with complementary oak, leading to a lingering finish. Pairs perfectly with a charcuterie board, hard cheeses or any backyard BBQ."
5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, November 2022 (2021 Vintage)
“Wonderfully ripe and perfumed, the bouquet shows blackberry, sweet plum, olive, game and roasted nut aromas, leading to a gorgeously flavoursome palate that's plump and mouthfilling. Upfront and delectably appealing”
