Winemaker Notes
Vibrant purple color, with a lifted nose showing red fruits and some spice. The palate has wonderful concentration and depth yet still lively and fresh. The tannins are expansive yet remain soft and the acidity adds to the wines complexity. A wonderful example of the modern, medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz.

Australian Wine Companion
From dry-grown estate blocks averaging 40yo; fermented in larger 2700L used casks. It is a spectacular value and more obvious in all aspects: depth, colour richness (plum to the fore) tannins (for balance and longevity).

Wine Enthusiast
This Shiraz was open-top fermented and matured in older, large-format French oak casks, resulting in a wine focused on fruit purity. With some air, the plump blueberries and currants are underpinned by flowers, spice, hoisin and warm stone nuances. The palate is unexpectedly powerful, with chiseled, slightly drying tannins, although it still resides in medium-bodied territory. It shows off the distinctive style of the region as well as the winery
