Stunningly dense purple/black in colour with purple hue. Wonderful array of aromas here featuring perfumed scents with black fruits, plums, Mediterranean herbs, graphite, licorice, smoked meats, truffle and black pepper. Big, bold and beautiful. There is velvet like texture which runs through this wine hand in hand with its serious depth and concentration. Blackberries, cherries, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, damp earth, and truffles almost every flavour under the sun seems to appear and disappear with every sip. The tannins from the power of the Shiraz fruit are evident yet are balanced by the soft juicy fruit flavours.
The fruit for this blend was sourced from a single vineyard ancient vineyard in the Marananga in the Barossa Valley. Severely pruned and because of this and minimal water they produced just one and a half one to the acre. The grapes were all hand-picked from a small selection from the western edge of the Shiraz block was isolated by the winemaker and vigneron as it had such outstanding quality. The grapes were transported to the winery in the early hours of the morning to avoid the summer heat where they were again sorted then de-stemmed and crushed before being co-fermented in large vats after extreme cold maceration. The wine had their malolactic in new French oak and is thereafter in the same oak for aging. The best 15 barrels were then selected after 24 months in oak to be used in the final blend and bottled with minimal filtration.
