This single vineyard wine is made from grapes specially selected from our oldest dry grown Shiraz vines. They yield small berries that produce concentrated fruit resulting in a wine which shows excellent colour, depth and complexity with characters of plum and hints of spice.
James Halliday 2018 – 94 Points – “There is more of everything in this wine: colour, fruit depth, new oak and ripe tannins. They’re all in balance too.”
