The concentrated palate delivers terrific weight and plush texture, wonderfully framed by silky tannins, leading to a sustained, delicious finish.” Estate 2021 Old Vine Shiraz Shiraz: Stuart Knox, The Real Review, 95 Points - “Deep ruby colour. Blueberry, iodine, and white pepper aromatics on the nose. Deep blue and black fruits are interlaced with dark spices and a hint of earthy savoury spice. Great length with a fine-grained but persistent tannin drive carrying it all the way. Many years ahead of it.” ACO Certified Organic & Vegan Australia Certified COLOUR: Dark intense plum red with moderate cling and dark purple hue on the swirl. NOSE: Clean pronounced aromas of blueberry, spicy plum and an emerging sweet cinnamon toast complexity. PALATE: Clean full bodied flavours of cocoa covered cherry, fresh blackberry, subtle vanilla kirsch cradled within a brittle yet soft tannin framework. A satisfyingly long finish of summer berries and toasted pistachio with hints of native pepper berry. WINEMAKING: The fruit was harvested from mature vines in selected sections of A & B on the estate vineyard. Open vat vinification techniques applied with minimal intervention preserve regional identity. FOOD PAIRING: This is an ideal match with refined meat dishes such as roast lamb, Wagyu, terrines and stews. VINTAGE NOTES: Frosts in November 2019 and a heatwave during mid-flowering reduced the crop by 50%. The season thereafter was kind, with a cool period enhancing flavour development. A difficult vintage in many regions, our vineyard maintained quality although yields were low.
