Tasting notes
Hand-harvested and destemmed with no crushing to retain whole berries. Fermented in Yarra Yering 'tea chest' half-tonne open fermenters. High use of stalk baskets (destemmed stalks returned to the fermenter). 18 months in French oak (30% new). Bottled via gravity without filtration. Bricky crimson. Still showing the red fruits of the 2019 but has the evolved notes of eucalyptus and mint, undergrowth, too. Succulent, generous, fresh and long. (JH)

100% Shiraz. Wonderful nose of dark spiced fruit, blue fruit. Delightful palate that is bursting with fruit as well as elegance. The tannins are dusty and present still and it shows lovely texture. Succulent and very juicy, I love this saline refreshing style. (Coming after 30 Barossas it’s a delight!) (AC)
