Old Vine 2025

I am privileged to work with small parcels of fruit from old, dry-grown, hand-pruned and picked vineyards from across the many family growers of the Barossa. We were utterly spoilt for choice in 2025 with many blocks across the Barossa & Eden Valley making a strong statement for inclusion in the ‘Old Vine’ Shiraz. At Ebenezer (Planted 1950s) we used the Riebke’s Schrapel Block as the base, then Mengler’s Hill Block 8b & 12 (Planted 1960s), Mattschoss Trial Hill (Planted 1940s) and finally a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon from Ebenezer (Planted 1950). The warmer 2025 season brings an extra layer of richness and texture and is our finest to date. 96Pts Ken Gargett - Winepilot
