About this product
The grapes are sourced from special old Shiraz vines and, using traditional open fermentation and pressing methods, this unique hand crafted wine is the reward. The wine from these gnarled and twisted vines is matured for 18 months in a carefully chosen combination of half new and half seasoned French oak barrels. These old vines are a legacy inherited from our Barossa forefathers and, as custodians of the future, we continue to save and showcase these old vines and share their uniqueness everywhere. Wine from these old vines give a taste of living history.

A wine that pays homage to the pioneers of the Barossa, to the gnarly old vines and the superb wines produced from them for over a century and a half. Previous vintages of this wine have been brilliant, so expectations for the 2016 release were high. No disappointments there. The wine is everything that the best southern Barossa shiraz should be - rich of fruit, soft of tannin, long and luxurious on the finish. It's very possible to spend a lot of money on high quality Barossa shiraz. Here's one for under $100 that matches it with any of them. At 6 years of age the wine can be easily cellared for another 15 years, although it's smooth enough for immediate enjoyment.
