Sourced from two exceptional Blewitt Springs vineyards with deep Holocene-era soils and a combined heritage stretching back to the very origins of McLaren Vale viticulture, crafted in small batch open fermenters for 9 days on skins, pressed directly to oak for MLF, and matured for 15 months in French oak puncheons and hogsheads with no fining and minimal filtration. Elegant and complex on the nose — cherries, plums, pepper, cloves, and toasty oak; rich and concentrated on the palate — raspberries, cherries, liquorice root, and spice with well-integrated oak and velvety tannins; and a long, satisfying finish. Drink now to 2034. Over the top, in every sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep, vibrant ruby — the rich, concentrated colour of a McLaren Vale Shiraz sourced from two exceptional Blewitt Springs vineyards with Holocene-era soils and vines with deep roots in the history of the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAroma\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and complex — cherries and plums with spicy notes of pepper and cloves, complemented by toasty oak from 15 months in French oak puncheons and hogsheads.
