Very small parcels of fruit from vineyards up to 100 years old are hand-picked, fermented with some whole-bunches and blended to make this traditional Barossan wine. Racked once during maturation of 12 months in larger barrels (some new). Showing all the richness of fruit you would expect from Barossan Shiraz at its best. Fruit sources in 2019 are from the following: 70 y.o. Marananga Shiraz. 100 y.o. Flaxman Valley Shiraz.
"Very deep, bright, glowing purple/red colour, with a super-aromatic nose that suggests flowers, as though there's some white grapes in the mix. Violets, blueberries, and sundry other berry fruits, laced with spices including pepper. A brilliantly fruity wine, lavish and modern, pristinely clean and fresh and promising to age well, although it's remarkably accessible already. It's just a touch primal at the moment." 92pts - Huon Hooke - The Real Review
"Blackcurrant, sage and mint, full on Eden perfume, rich sweet dark fruit, supple tannin, long too. A whole lotta Eden here, and some dark chocolate flavour. Sweet and perfumed and brooding. Very good." 94pts - Gary Walsh - WineFront
