"Full ruby-red. Perfumed aromas of black fruits, pepper, spices and licorice; very syrah. Juicy, spicy and bright, firm and precise but also pliant and generous. Classic black fruit and peppery syrah flavors complicated by candied notes and exotic herbs. Carries its 15% alcohol gracefully. Finishes firm, sweet and long. Intriguingly, this wine was made by two winemakers at two locations, from the same vineyard. One cuvee was more astringent and tannic, vinified with a high percentage of stems, while the other was more user-friendly. The two components were assembled only for the bottling."

Renowned for powerful, richly fruited Shiraz, most famously from the Barossa Valley, alongside age-worthy Cabernet and cool-climate whites. A warm climate and old, ungrafted vines produce wines of generosity and depth.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
