Halliday Wine Companion 

Deep crimson in the glass with aromas of macerated doris plum, black cherry and blackberry fruits, cut with hints of baking spices, licorice, dark chocolate, cedar, panforte, pan juices and earth. Weighty, with impressive depth and ferrous-edged tannin grip, fading with a crème-de-cassis-like intensity to the fruit.

Winemaking

Fruit grown throughout the Barossa region this wine is a blend of 10 unique vineyard sites. A combination of cooler climate Eden Valley Shiraz (44%) and warmer climate Barossa Valley Shiraz (56%) work in unison to create a well- balanced wine. Using an array of fermentation techniques, all involving extended skin contact and gentle hand-plunging. Each of the fermentations retained varying levels of whole-bunch fruit clusters from 10 to 35%, then after 12-18 days on skins each ferment was pressed into a mix of new (35%) and conditioned French oak hogsheads. After a maturation of 12 months the wine was blended, naturally clarified and bottled without finings or filtration.
