Variety
100% Shiraz
Light Pass, Barossa Valley
Vineyard
Our estate shiraz fruit is sourced from 3 different Shiraz blocks across our vineyard. The difference in soil type, clone, microclimate and management between each block helps build complexity in the final blend. Vine age varies from 20-55 years. Soils vary but are predominantly sandy loam over red clay.
Vintage 2023
The 2023 vintage required patience. After a typical Barossa winter in 2022, the arrival of Spring brought above average rainfall and record-breaking low temperatures, which led to significant delay in shoot growth and bud burst. The entire growing season proved mild and temperate, resulting in a long slow ripening season with remarkable acid retention in the grapes. The hallmark of 2023 is an abundance of intense aromatics, matched with a rich spectrum of flavours and fine natural acidity that extends across the board.. all hallmarks of an exceptional vintage.
Winemaking
Destemmed and fermented to dryness. 8 days total on skins. Basket pressed to tank. Upon completion of MLF transferred to barrel for 24 months maturation in 90% French and 10% American Oak hogsheads. We intend for the wine to be approachable as a young wine, but with ample structure to allow for cellaring.
Tasting Notes
Deep crimson in colour, powerful but graceful, showing fine balance and structure. The wine opens with spicy, dark berry notes, revealing hints of sweet cedar spice. Richly aromatic and velvety, full bodied and packed with plum, blueberry, cloves and cinnamon spices, finishing long with silky tannins.
