“Songlines” are invisible pathways which criss cross the land all over Australia and stretch across continents and ages. The exceptional wine is named Songlines as it perfectly encapsulates the importance of the land, people and knowledge learned over time and across continents.

Made from some of the finest Shiraz vineyards in McLaren Vale with some of the vines aged up to nearly 80 years of age, which result in low yields of 2.5 to 3.0 tonne to the acre. All but two blocks are hand picked due to the vines age to avoid damaging them, which allows the winemaker to carefully select the individual batches at optimum ripeness. A variety of winemaking techniques are used to match each batch of wine perfectly. This means different batches received a combination of open vat fermentation or submerged cap fermenters. Temperatures are generally warmer although some cool fermented vats were included in the final bland. Batches are selected that will show a more generous flavour earlier in its life, with softer tannins, rounder structure and an open display of fruit character. The wine is matured for 12 months using mature barrique oak barrels and a small percentage of new oak.
