Vineyard Region Barossa Valley, Coonawarra Vintage Conditions Very wet growing season followed by warm, drier conditions, resulting in a very late but sound quality vintage fruit. Grape variety Shiraz (Syrah) Maturation Matured in 100% new American oak for 18 months. Colour Dense plum red merging to brick red on rims. Nose I ntense blackcurrant and plum with malt, fig and liquorice aromas that leap from the glass. This has all the characters of a classic Grange. Palate What is promised on the nose is delivered on the palate - a powerful, concentrated, opulent wine. Layers of Shiraz fruit and first class oak manifest themselves into a seemingly endless variety of flavours - deep plum, liquorice, black olive, chocolate, cedar, coffee, etc, all compressed into a silken, round mouth feel. Forceful, ripe tannins are balanced by sheer weight of fruit. It is hard to believe that 100% new American oak was used - the intensity of fruit has all but soaked it up.
