Vineyard Region Kalimna (Barossa Valley), Barossa Valley, Magill, and Modbury (Adelaide Plains). Vintage Conditions This vintage was seriously affected by the 1982 drought, less by the devastating Ash Wednesday bushfires and March flooding. Summer rainfall was a little more than half the average, following by record rains in March Grape variety Shiraz (Syrah), Cabernet Sauvignon Maturation Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 20 months. Colour Very deep black cherry red. Nose Dense, powerful dark chocolate/spice/plum/ briar and mint aromas with some oak-derived coconut. Palate A highly concentrated wine showing pronounced extract and tannins balanced with sweet plummy fruit and showing some ‘cigar box’ characters. Winemaker comments by Don Ditter
