No. 2 Shiraz

The nose is a complex medley of spicy dark fruits and fruit cake; American and French oak adds notes of vanilla and cedar. The full-bodied palate has intense flavours of plums and raisins balanced by natural acidity and robust, integrated tannin.

From vineyards on gently undulating slopes at the northern end of the valley. The classic Barossa red soil of red-yellow brown loam over red clay. Crafted from 50-80 year old vines, adding great concentration and complexity. A small parcel of fruit from vineyards on more elevated slopes with a slightly cooler climate provided balancing acid, aromatic lift and elegance to this wine

The fruit was picked at optimum ripeness in early- March and fermented in small overhead fermenters. Our barrels were made by Barossa cooper AP John from predominantly American oak, with a small portion of French oak for the parcel from the cooler, more elevated vineyards.

We chose American hogsheads for their sweet and luscious characters that complement the bold Barossa Shiraz wine style. The French oak adds aromatics and finesse. The wine was matured in barrel for 2 years and aged in bottle in our cellars for year prior to release.
