Expert Reviews

Silver & 94 Pts - Halliday Rating.

Medium red-purple; an expressive and fragrant bouquet leads into a harmonious palate; the wine spent 16 months in new French and American oak, but the red and black fruits are not obscured by that oak, and the tannins are finely balanced. It all works very well. - 11 July 2013.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

Dark beetroot

Aroma

A rich perfume of savoury blackberry and cherry aromas with hints of cinammon and pepper.

Palate

A classic fruit driven Barossa Valley shiraz, this wine displays ripe mulberry and plum characteristics. The conscious integrations of oak results in subtle vanilla and spice. This wine has youthful, grippy tannins and will develop in the bottle for the next10 years.

Food

Matched perfectly with red meat dishes such as glazed beef short ribs.
