Monolith Vintners Monolithic Old Vine Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016 is a towering example of ultra-premium Barossa winemaking, sourced from 100-year-old dry-grown vines and aged an extraordinary 36 months in new French and American oak. The 2016 vintage is regarded as one of the finest in Barossa history, and this wine reflects that pedigree with extraordinary depth, power, and structure.
Poured from its wax-sealed, heavy imported bottle, the wine reveals a massive, brooding nose of dark plum, cranberry, saddle leather and scorched earth, evolving into blackcurrant, dark chocolate and spicy pepper. After a long decant, the wine opens to reveal richness and balance, with dense tannins, impressive weight, and an immense palate of black olive, toasted oak, and dried herbs.
Awarded 96 Points by Wine Showcase Magazine and 93 Points at the Melbourne International Wine Competition, this internationally acclaimed Shiraz is bold, age-worthy and unapologetically Barossan. Drink now with a long decant, or cellar with confidence for another decade or more.
96 Point Rated - Wine Showcase Magazine 2021
"A luxurious wine with toasty, fruity aromas. Lovely spicy black fruits full of flavour and complexity. Good length of crisp acidity in support."
