Tasting notes
Dark garnet with crimson huesFragrant and enticing with layers of cloves, espresso and warm spice, opening to rich black fruits with notes of plum pudding and red leather.There is no hiding the origin of this wine. Style wise its big, rich and flavoursome. The complex flavours of blood plums, cherry cola and smoked meats with the black olive and liquorice notes typically seen in the Northern Barossa Valley. Oak adds sweetness and a supple texture to the ripe fruit tannins. A wine that can be enjoyed in its youth or cellared carefully to be appreciated over many years.

Shiraz or Syrah
Shiraz, or Syrah, is one of the most loved, rich and powerful red wine varieties made famous for its mineral and structured expressions from the Rhône in France and the rich and decadent fruity expressions from the Barossa Valley in Australia. Full bodied, rich in antioxidants and generously fruity, Shiraz sits proudly on the table for those that like their wine big and bold. Think violets, blackberries, plum, chocolate, pepper, black olive, liquorice, rosemary, tobacco and spice...i'm thirsty already!
