"Here comes concentration, intensity and complexity. Dark fruits, compote and pepper highlight the palate, complemented by earthy and moreish undertones, all culminating with fine grained tannin on a long, long finish. Two years in a mix of new and older French oak has provided the structure for cellaring, and when applied to fruit with this much vine age, leads to a long life for the wine. This is classic Vale, full of history, depth and boldness." - Seb Banks, Vinomofo Wine Dealer
Now, this is no ordinary Shiraz. Fruit for this beauty is sourced from a five acre vineyard that has been confirmed, by historians, to have been planted back in 1880!! That makes these ancient, twisted, gnarly vines some of the oldest, if not the oldest, surviving Shiraz vines in McLaren Vale.
Over the last 140 years, the fruit that these vines produce has gained such immense complexity and depth of flavour. Its powerfully robust fruit profile is balanced with beautifully integrated oak and held together by an elegantly fine-grained network of tannins. This beautiful drop, although already drinking stunningly, will continue to evolve and develop well for many years to come.
