Wine Summary Image

Sourced from our estate Malpas Road Vineyard, planted in 1991 on land which was originally referred to as ‘Bay of Biscay’. This is an obvious reference to the relatively infertile cracking, grey-black soil upon which our hand-tended Shiraz patch does its work. The fissures which occur as the black soil cracks apart, sever surplus root structure; a process which naturally lessens vigour and enhances ultimate grape quality. Other fruit parcels were sourced from the slightly higher elevated vines of the Penny’s Hill Vineyard. Detailed canopy management, judicious irrigation and passionate viticultural practices in both these high class vineyards contribute to this outstanding Shiraz.

Expert Reviews

Campbell Mattinson

90 Points

It’s both generously flavoured and complex. That’s a great start. It finishes dry but there’s ample ripe fruit in the getting there, and there’s also plenty of smoky, spicy, clovey character layered on top. It keeps you interested. It doesn’t extend out through the finish in the way this winery’s higher priced reds do but then, for casual drinking you’re hardly likely to notice.

Winery Tasting Notes

Showing great depth and generosity, the palate is elegant and well defined. The tannins delicately wrap the fruit and guide it along the palate, resulting in a wine of exceptional length and character.
