A thoroughly beautiful Barossa Shiraz based on the old Barossa but with a modern tweak of refinement. It was a super year, reflected in the dark fruits’ depth and balance. Plummy dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee beans and a little vanilla oak are all true to the regional DNA. The depth and concentration of the fruit sit well with the 26 months in oak. It’s intense with a very long palate. A bold but still refined expression of the Barossa.
