2018 Reserve Block 6 Shiraz
This selection is from the most highly rated block on the vineyard, the ‘Block 6 Shiraz’. The deep loam soils lead to low yielding vines that give us even ripening during the growing season, with beautiful flavour and tannin development. Classic Barossa Valley!
Deep red black in colour with ruby hues. The nose has lifted black pepper, spice and ripe plums. French oak adds an extra layer of complexity, adding aromas of fresh black coffee.
The palate has deep plum fruits, dark chocolate, and pepper with a plump full-bodied mouth feel. Firm velvety tannins give the wine a lovely mouth filling presence and will ensure great aging potential.

- "Black plum preserve, clove, and a hint of meatiness. Huge concentration, with acidity keeping the alcohol, oak, and tannins in check. Appealing and luscious."

- "An unashamedly big, brushing, classical style with intense blackberry and black-plum-jam notes, hints of roasting meats, clove and baking spice, dark chocolate and loads of toasty oak. Super-concentrated, with strong grainy tannin and charry black-fruit heft on the finish. "
