FREE SHIPPING ON ORDERS OVER $250

Belonging to the original Curator range, this wine was created to be reflect the differences in our Barossa vineyard locations and their unique micro climates. Handpicked from the best of our five Shiraz plots on our home vineyard, small amount of whole bunches (10%) are utilised to increased complexity, depth of flavour and aromatics. Fermented long and slow, then pressed into only French oak 20% new where it completes Malolactic ferment naturally and then remains in the same barrels for a further 18 months before bottling.

This shiraz is known for its sumptuous offering; the wonderfully lifted bouquet of blackberry, blueberry compote, vanilla and cedar characters with a lovely spicy undertone. It’s intensely fruited with rich texture showing off what this region can achieve. It craves some air to open up which is an increasing trait in our house style as we constantly refine and improve what we strive to achieve.

Bottled unfined and unfiltered and is Vegan friendly.

96 points James Suckling – The more elegant counterpart to its Seppeltsfield sibling, with scents of lilacs, dried lavender, kelp and blue fruit. This is a gorgeous expression, showcasing how Barossa and elegance are not mutually exclusive. Despite the full body, the exquisitely rendered tannins show authority and tension, giving one the impression of floral grace. A long, sumptuous finish. Not a thing out of place. Gorgeous wine.

94 points The Wine Front – This is very good. Juicy, substantial and intricately well structured. Boysenberry into redcurrant and sweet plum; peppercorns into dark chocolate, pan juices and orange. It’s both a succulent wine and an exotic one. The finesse of the tannin is the clincher. Campbell Mattinson
