97 points Wine Pilot | 96 points Wine Orbit | 95 points Halliday Wine Companion 

Barossa Valley, South Australia

Single-Vineyard Shiraz | Power, Purity & Grace

“A majestic Barossa Shiraz — seamless power wrapped in velvet texture, where richness meets remarkable elegance.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep garnet with a dark plum core — dense and luminous.
Aroma: Complex and inviting with layers of blackberry, mulberry, and plum compote, laced with violet, cocoa, cedar, and warm baking spice.
Palate: Full-bodied yet impeccably balanced. Ripe black fruits, dark chocolate, and hints of espresso glide across a plush, finely structured palate. The tannins are powder-soft yet persistent, delivering focus and grace.
Finish: Long, velvety, and beautifully composed — lingering flavours of dark fruit, spice, and mocha echo well after each sip.

Vineyard & Winemaking

Fruit is sourced from the family’s century-old vineyards in Lyndoch, at the southern end of the Barossa Valley, where cooler nights and ancient soils create Shiraz with intensity and freshness.

Small-batch fermentation, gentle hand plunging, and maturation in French and American oak (40 % new) for 18 months shape a wine that’s both sumptuous and structured, combining Barossa power with modern precision.
