98 points Wine Orbit Reviews

Single-Vineyard Barossa Valley Shiraz | Power, Depth & Soul

"A breathtaking Barossa Shiraz of intensity and elegance — the purest expression of old-vine character and winemaking mastery."

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep garnet with purple hues, shimmering with concentration and intensity.

Aroma: A stunning bouquet of blackberry, dark plum, and mulberry intertwined with violet, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. Fine oak adds nuance of vanilla, cedar, and a hint of mocha.

Palate: Full-bodied and powerfully structured — layers of dark fruit cascade across the palate with mineral tension and savoury complexity. The tannins are firm yet refined, bringing both power and elegance.

Finish: Long, persistent, and deeply satisfying — the essence of purity and balance, with a lingering resonance of dark fruit, spice, and gentle earthiness.

Vineyard & Winemaking

The Romulus vineyard in the Barossa Valley is one of Australia's most exceptional Shiraz sites. Planted on ancient, well-draining soils with old vines, it produces fruit of extraordinary concentration and aromatic complexity.

The grapes are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged in French oak. Minimal intervention allows the vineyard's natural energy and precision to shine through, delivering a wine of remarkable balance and longevity.
