Product Description

Winery Background

Vineyards and Vintage Conditions

This wine is made from Shiraz grapes grown in the Riverland region of South Australia, known for its warm climate and reliable harvests. The 2019 vintage delivered ripe, concentrated fruit under sunny days and cooling evening temperatures, capturing the bold varietal richness typical of the Riverland.

Winemaking

Fermentation was conducted in small batches, balancing extraction with elegance to preserve purity. The wine shows structure and richness with restrained oak influence while maintaining approachable style and regional expression.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep, dark ruby colour

Aroma: Pronounced aromas of blackberry and plum framed by notes of pepper spice, tobacco and mocha

Palate: Full bodied and structured with robust tannins. Flavours of black fruit, dark cherry and hints of herb and pepper unfold across a rich mid‑palate

Finish: Persistent and clean, with lingering dark fruit and spice that deliver an elegant finish

Cellaring Potential

This wine is drinking well now and is expected to remain in good drinking shape for the next two to three years. Its fruit concentration and structure support short to mid‑term cellaring.

Food Pairing

A superb partner for grilled or roasted meats such as lamb, beef or game. Also complements richly spiced dishes, wild mushrooms and mature-aged cheeses.
