A polished and expressive Shiraz sourced from central to southern Barossa grounds, Bethany and Rowland Flat. It’s incredibly luscious and plush allowing 24 months in American and French oak hogsheads before bottling. Sure, it’s a lot but then the intensity and concentration of the fruit can certainly handle it – handle it in spades. Plush black cherry and plum with an infusion of spices and dark chocolate in combination. A little licorice and light mocha adds further to what is a very good wine.
