This beautiful Barossa shiraz has had the Rolls Royce treatment in the vineyard and in the winery, and to name all the TLC it’s received would take a very long time. Here are the basics: a fantastic growing season, handpicked grapes left to dry before processing (al la Amarone della Valpolicella, to intensify flavours) and 100% new French oak for two years. The resulting wine is like a bear hug from a gentle giant - it’s warm, filling and feels fantastic. Rich, ripe fruit is wrapped up in dark chocolates and mocha, alongside robust tannins that will see this wine good to cellar for a couple of decades. It is a decadent and truely impressive wine.
