Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaThe fruit is sourced from Barossa vineyards. The vines range from young (approximately 10 - 12 years old) to 35+ years. Production goes into a mix of French, American, and Hungarian, with 25% new, to shape this surprisingly easy-sipping, densely textured shiraz. Blackberry, blueberry, and cassis with a touch of leather mark the attack flecked with tobacco and brown spices. As mentioned, this is easy on the palate already, so you can drink it now, although another year in bottle would further help this wine reach its zenith. A solid, if safe, offering.Tasted: 28 October 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Barossa Valley, South Australia, AustraliaFrom sites across Barossa, this shiraz was aged for a year in French, American, and Hungarian hogsheads, barriques, and octaves (26% new). Black fruit leads, with blackberry, cassis at the fore, woven with tobacco, dark chocolate, mint, and sultry spices. Tannins are ample, but well absorbed by the fleshy dark fruit, leaving a flush of peppery warmth in their wake on the finish. This 2018 is at a great place for drinking now.Tasted: 02 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:
