Not your usual full, rich, sweet-fruited Barossa Shiraz. It walks a different road, one that is savoury with Amaro characters coming into play and offering something quite individual, convincingly so. Sourced off 1960 old vine Shiraz grown in the Greenock sub-region. Aromas of roasted plums, blackberry, earth, leather, black olive, amaro herbal bitters. Its capacity for further ageing is established early with sturdy tannins noted, going hand in hand with a palate at once savoury in leather, deli meats and red earth and generously fruited in ripe black fruits, spice and Amaro bitters.
