Vintage Conditions

The 2021 vintage in the Hunter Valley was characterised by a warm growing season, allowing the Shiraz grapes to ripen fully and develop depth of flavour. The ideal balance of sunlight and rainfall created conditions that enhanced the wine’s rich fruit characteristics while maintaining the region’s signature acidity and structure.

Aged for 12 months in 10% new French oak puncheons, this Shiraz was crafted to enhance its complex flavour profile. The oak treatment adds depth and richness while allowing the bright fruit character to shine through. The wine is then carefully balanced with vibrant acidity and finely structured tannins.
