100% shiraz grapes from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by the early German settlers in the mid 1800s and grown in the Eden Valley wine region.
Matured in 100% new French (50%) and American (50%) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.
Very deep crimson in colour. Perfumed, with sweet lifted spicy aromas of plum, blackberry, anise, herbs and spices. Complex, with hints of sage, pepper, vanilla and cedar. The rich, complex, textured palate is sweet, juicy and fleshy, layered with spicy velvety tannins. Elegant and powerful, with great length.
Wine Reviews: Robert Parker - 93pts +.
Ready to Drink? Well not really as it is such a big wine, similar to Penfolds Grange. However decanted with a hearty meal the wine will be enjoyed for sure!
Food and Wine Matching: Anything with big strong flavours, grilled or roasted red meats are best.
