Krondorf121 Settlers Old Vine Shiraz 2017
About this product
The village of Krondorf was founded by 121 humble and hardy settlers. Their land was sub-divided into small plots that allowed them to grow crops, establish orchards and vineyards, nurture animals and share-farm. "Love, faith and hope" were the underlying and binding values of this community. Inspired by this story, Krondorf Wines continues the story of renewal, love, faith and hope with the spirit of those original 121 Settlers remembered through the rare, meticulously selected Old Vine classified vineyards with vine age of approximately 60 years old. <br>Made from 100% Barossa Old Vine Shiraz, this wine gives lifted and concentrated aromatics of dark plum and blackberry fruit, with spice and toast notes from premium new and seasoned French oak hogsheads. The palate shows incredible depth and intensity, the oak giving balance to the strong core of dark fruit. Graphite, aniseed and chocolate round out the palate. Approachable in the short to mid-term, but also a strong candidate for long-term cellaring.<br>Produced by or on behalf of Pinnacle Drinks, part of Endeavour Group Limited.

A chiseled, muscular frame beneath a sleek and glossy coat - like a Group 1 thoroughbred trained to the minute. 121 Settlers, is only in its first vintage, but immediately establishes itself as a great Barossa shiraz. Old vines (Average 60 years) have provided the depth, concentration and power, so obvious as you take your first sip. A core of dark, warm fruit, softly spiced and with a chocolate earthy note, then cosseted in a comfortable blanket of gentle tannins takes you on the full Barossa journey. Match this with your favourite oven roasted meat dish - with all the trimmings!
