The ThiefBarossa Valley Shiraz
About this product
This is the legend of my Great, Great Grandfather John, an 1840’s Australian settler. Walter was asked to tend a cow while his neighbour was away for several months. During this time, the cow mysteriously died. The neighbour returned making accusations of theft. Walter refused to admit any fault, as he knew it was not his. The Catholic Church excommunicated him and as a result was buried near the Melrose Catholic cemetery, on the other side of their fence. I have created this wine to honour the legend of my Great, Great grandfather and that damned cow.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.
