Lifted dark cherry and plum aromas are married perfectly to nuances of cinnamon and dark chocolate. The palate displays the richness and concentration that Barossa Old Vine Shiraz is renowned for. Plum and dark spice feature, integrating perfectly with soft velvety tannins, beautifully balanced with exceptional power and length.In recent decades, a cool ripening season is a blessing in the Barossa Valley. The 2022 season delivered below average temperatures and bright, sunny days from February through to harvest, which commenced two weeks later than average, with picking continuing into May. Good winter and spring rainfall set the vines up for reasonable yields, though impacted heavily and sporadically first by inclement conditions during fruit set, then by spring frost, then by severe hailstorms. Vineyards not impacted were optimistic about elegant and structured wines with depth and length of flavour.
