At the time of this vintage, the vines for this shiraz were 106 years old. I hope they got their letter from the queen, because that is something to be celebrated. The older the vine, the less fruit it produces, the more concentrated the flavour. So concentrate hard and get around this limited release beauty. There’s something about old vines and the depth of wine they produce that just begs for a little more time in bottle- and this cellar release is just that. Those gnarly old vines can only be tended to by loving hands, no machines make it through this vineyard- which always lends to a little extra love in the winery. Lashings of premium American oak was no match for the depth of this fruit, melding seamlessly into the fabric of this wine. In case you haven’t caught on- we’re bloody excited about this beauty, and you should be too.
