      Grape varieties :

      Shiraz

      Vineyard age :

      Block planted in 1997

      Soil :

      Shallow, skeletal grey sand and loam mixed with both ironstone and quartz

      Tasting notes :

      Aromas of fresh blackberry and juniper which evolve to pipe tobacco, dried sage and rosemary. The wine enters the palate with power and presence carrying liquored blackberry and coal dust flavor at first impression. It turns savory slowly delivering black peppercorns and umami notes which provide a lovely mouth-watering finish.
      This wine has a very complex finish which touches on both fruit and savory details.
