2023 Vintage Shiraz available under Diam cork and screw cap.
This Barossa Valley Shiraz was sourced from our 5 different plots of Shiraz at our home Marananga vineyard. It’s gorgeously perfumed on the nose, with dark cherries, blueberries and a well-integrated layer of fine French oak making this a powerful but smooth wine. It’s upfront and hugely appealing. 10% whole bunch, each plot was naturally fermented separately and basket pressed to only French oak (15% new). Natural Malolactic fermentation occurred in barrel and the wine remained in those same barrels for 16 months before being selected and blended together to form the final cuvée.
Bottled unfined and unfiltered and is Vegan friendly.
94 points Halliday Wine Companion - A deeply fruited western Barossa shiraz, etched with graphite and dark spice and fruits that sit in the Doris plum, blackberry and blueberry spectrum. It's generous, with a distinctly contemporary feel and a rich créme de cassis-like flow on the palate. Oak seemingly plays a minor role in favour of fruits, fine and powdery tannins and a delicious blueberry pie finish.
94 points Winepilot Ken Gargett - An inky dark maroon colour, the nose exhibits notes of mocha, cassis, chocolate, coffee grinds and tobacco leaves. The texture is seductive, even decadent, and there are abundant but fine and silky tannins. A long and lingering finish, over which the intensity is maintained, ties up an utterly gorgeous Barossa Shiraz. This really is seriously good value. Enjoy it any time over the next ten to twelve years. The score could have been higher, and I have no doubt it will deserve elevation with time.
