Epic NegociantsThe Apollonian McLaren Vale Shiraz
About this product
Vineyards up to 120 years old provide some of the most intense and pure fruit from this iconic subregion. We let the fruit do all the work here with whole berry open-fermentation in small pots, time on skins and gentle racking to barrel.
From Australia's most distinguished vineyards and winemakers.
The Apollonian theory of Greek mythology entwines two seemingly opposite philosophical elements of the gods and brothers Apollo and Dionysus to create a complete and complex entity. Order and chaos, purity and excess, harmony and passion. Entwined by nature they are at their best when together. The vineyard, the winemaker, the vintage and the moment create the experience.

Deep, intense purple hue. The nose gives up blue fruits, some mocha and dry earth notes. Very concentrated and powerful. Great length, and whilst there's such intense fruit it is tempered by judicious oak spice and well-framed tannins. Even being so young it's already complete but will reward further cellaring. to 2036
