FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $250

The 2017 growing season recorded one of the highest rainfalls during the growing season on record which, combined with cooler weather resulted in slow and healthy vine growth. Vintage has been characterised as fine and elegant with full bodied wines.

Sourced from a a select few vineyards across central and southern Barossa that consistently deliver outstanding fruit.

Very intense inky red in colour. Aromas are complex and brooding, dark cocoa powder and blackberry jus integrated with smoky French oak and woody spice. The palate is rich and robust, an intense mid palate fruit sweetness couples with firm grape tannins to add substance and structure to the palate. The tannins from French oak maturation contribute to the length of the wine on the finish. A classic, bold, dry grown Barossa Valley Shiraz, made for savouring and cellaring. Drink 2020 through to 2040.
