"Blending of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon ensures the great Australian red wine style of the 1950’s and 60’s is not lost. Early Australian winemakers began to forge their own paths by blending varieties that had not traditionally been found together. The splicing of two great things doesn’t always produce something better. But, in some cases, the alchemy of winemaking weaves its magic to create a wine more interesting and complex than the separate components. We’ve named this wine in acknowledgement of our grape growers who spend the cold Barossa winters hand pruning in the traditional rod and spur method."
95/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front, October 2022 (2019 Vintage)
"All just so. Classic Australian red offering plum, raspberry, a little perfume and spice, chocolate, and discreet oak. Medium-bodied, savoury but with a good amount of fruit, the quality of the tannin is excellent – firm but not dominant – and there’s a roast hazelnut and umami character, and a dried rose perfume to close. It’s a lovely wine. And part of that charm is that it’s not trying too hard."
