Another in the Texture Series from Paisley, and in this case, it comes from the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. Here, the rich, opulent, slightly earthy ironstone characters of the region emerge from the dark, vibrant fruits. Has a spicy coffee-grind aroma, and then a palate that is dense and concentrated, yet elegant and most stylish. These vines are now 45 years old, and they really do produce excellent fruit for the wine. In this case, it’s from the outstanding ’21 vintage. A wine of tremendous complexity and interest from the start.
