Black centre with opaque purple edge. A highly concentrated and complex Shiraz with great natural fruit presence showing blackberry, mulberry, dark chocolate, plums, olives, earth and a touch of French oak. A full rich palate follows with concentrated flavours of super ripe blackberry, spicy plum, dark chocolate, and mocha as well as an enticingly brilliant flavour of well-integrated oak. The juicy, dark, rounded tannins have a wonderful length and line, which ensures the wine, lingers for an extended period leaving you with such a moreish quality.
Mungo Park is a single vineyard wine sourced from the famed sub region – the Moppa and near the Kalimna Vineyard, which is the mother vineyard of “Grange”. The vines themselves are up to 80-year-old and they are cropped, using green harvesting, at less than 3.5 tonne to the acre. Grapes were hand picked at dawn, it receives fermentation, like our top wines, Exile and Émigré, which is conducted in small open top fermenters, followed by malolactic fermentation and ageing in 100 per cent new French oak barrels.
