Just about everything is done by hand to make this wonderful expression of what the Barossa can offer the world. From the vineyard to the winery, it’s a hands-on approach including hand plunging to coax the flavour and tannins to do their things. It’s a tiny production wine bottled unfined and unfiltered. So it’s almost a direct line to the vineyards of the old Barossa. Dark fruit swirls through a sumptuous palate loaded with spicy plum and dark chocolate. Yes, it’s a powerful wine but such is its balance that it releases with real poise and polish. Outstanding wine from a great vintage.
