Crafted from 50+ year old vines in the prestigious Greenock sub-region of the Barossa Valley, this limited-release Shiraz is a powerhouse of intensity, depth, and regional character. With only 30 barrels produced, this is an exclusive expression of old-vine Barossa fruit at its finest.
The nose opens with lifted aromas of ripe blackberry, blood plum, and black cherry, underscored by complex layers of licorice, dark chocolate, and warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and mouth-filling, delivering a luxurious wave of dark berry fruit, raisin, ironstone, and a touch of earthy minerality.
The wine’s structure is framed by fine-grained tannins and expertly judged oak, offering both balance and impressive cellaring potential. This is a traditional Barossa Shiraz that combines richness with elegance, crafted to age gracefully or deliver immediate satisfaction.
Awarded a stellar 96 Points, this is a Barrel Reserve Shiraz that showcases the hallmark power and complexity of the Barossa Valley. A must-have for lovers of bold, expressive Australian red wines.
96 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Excellent varietal characters showing on the nose and palate. Packed rich fruit flavours and lovely drying tannins with some earthy and leather notes providing depth. Everything works in perfect harmony."
95 Point Rated & 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine Orbit
"Splendidly complex and enticing, the wine shows dark fruit richness, smoked game, cedar, toasted spice, and dark cocoa notes on the nose. The palate displays excellent concentration and persistence, superbly supported by velvety texture and silky tannins, offering terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2031. $120.00."
