Wine Pilot - 93 Points

A reasonably equal blend of Shiraz from the Eden Valley and Barossa Valley, this is absolutely delicious drinking. The team include a small percentage of whole bunches in the fermentation and maturation continues for around fourteen months.
Dark magenta, the nose opens with lashings of dark chocolatey oak and vanilla touches. This is very well supported with notes of coffee beans, mocha, plums and mulberries. Ripe and intense, this wine revels in its big bold Barossa flavours. There is excellent length here and fine balance with supple, satiny tannins. The palate is absolutely chockers with molten chocolate and aniseed notes. Will continue to drink beautifully for the next ten to twelve years. Ken Gargett

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy with grilled steak, lamb, burgers, pizza, roast vegetables, slow cooked beef, sausages or hard cheeses.
