Palate
Soft, fleshy-textured Shiraz displaying blueberries and spice, supple tannins and
stylish French oak influence.
Winemaking
This is a blend of selected premium parcels of Shiraz from a number of vineyards
throughout the Vale. The 2016 vintage conditions were outstanding, with balanced
vines, good crop levels of fantastic colour and flavour, Shiraz being a particular
regional highlight displaying good acidity, bright fruit flavours and expressive
varietal characters. Fermented on skins in a combination of open and closed
fermenters and matured in French oak for 12-14 months. We are pleased with how
the oak has paired with the ripe, juicy fruit flavours. Enjoy now to 2026 or more.
