Vineyard Region Kalimna (Barossa Valley) and McLaren Vale. Vintage Conditions Growing season and vintage were both marked by cool weather. Crops in most South Australian regions were reduced by hailstorms in October 1986. Grape variety Shiraz (Syrah), Cabernet Sauvignon Maturation Matured in new American oak hogsheads for 18 months. Colour Dense brick red in colour. Nose Typical of Grange showing strong rich, berry fruit and minty characters with smoky oak overtones. Palate Full, firm, rich palate with excellent concentration of sweet plum and cherrylike fruit, vanillin oak flavours and soft, mouthfilling tannins. Winemaker comments by John Duval
