Why To Buy
Tasting Notes
Deep brick red in colour. This wine exhibits aromas of rich, punchy spice with hints of plum jam and cracked black pepper. The palate is full and luscious and is layered with flavours of plum, spice and smoky oak. This wine has a firm fruit backbone with rich mouth filling tannins. A full bodied wine which has good length and is an excellent example of Barossa Shiraz.
Technical Notes
A mild winter and a drier than normal spring led to an early flowering and fruit set for the Barossa vineyards. A hot start to summer meant that ripening occurred early and the vintage started on the 9th February with all varieties ripening in short succession. The conditions led to an excellent growing season with the reds full of density, colour and rich flavour. Despite lower than average yields, the quality of the wines from the 2018 Barossa vintage is set to be exceptional. The fruit comes from the Tanunda Hill Vineyard, located on Gomersal Road at Sheoak Log. The vineyard was established in 1999 and is planted to 10 different varieties.
