95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier, matured in 100% new French barriques for 14 months. A wine that seduces at every moment, on release in 5, 8, 10, 15 years so is the pedigree and ode to style tested by time. Like a vintage silk dress, this feels delicate and woven by hand. Tobacco leaf, goji berries and trophy winning CWA plum jam. Red gum bark, Billy tea and medjool date. I can go on and on, so is the way with a wine of multi dimensional winemaking and pure ancestral heritage of vines. Sandy tannins echo throughout. Breathtaking and drinking superbly now, if cellared in optimal conditions another 6 years or so.
