A spicy wine with cracked pepper, violets, blueberry and clove.

This is a wine that continues to surprise seasoned Shiraz lovers with its vibrant fresh dark red fruits such as blueberries, cherries and plum that shimmer alongside the creamy & precise French oak.

An elegant and complex Shiraz from single vineyards High Eden Vineyard. 

A lovely deep red with purple hues on the rim. Being mostly from McLaren Vale there is plenty of dark berry aroma with the sweet oak marrying well. Some spice and Christmas pudding characters as well. The palate is rich and long. Liqueur cherry flavours, some oak. The tannins are quite soft and ripe, nothing ‘firm’ about this wine at all.

This full bodied wine displays aromas of blackberry and black pepper supported by spicy, dark fruits on the palate with subtle integrated oak. The extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine grained tannins.  

The hand-picked grapes were destemmed, but not crushed, and spent seven days on skins in an open fermenter with twice daily hand-plunging and gentle pump-overs of the cap to extract colour, flavours and tannins. This was followed by careful basket pressing and maturation in a combination of American and French oak barrels for twenty two months prior to bottling. In keeping with our non-interventionist winemaking style we have neither fined nor filtered this wine and as a result decanting is recommended.
