A single vineyard, old vine Shiraz this fruit demanded attention from day one. It demonstrated the epitome of McLaren Vale and with that we had to be respectful.

Offering magnificent fruit purity and power, the wine shows blackberry, blueberry compote, violet, dark chocolate and cedar characters with a hint of spicy overtone. It's concentrated and sumptuous on the palate, displaying terrific fruit intensity together with velvety mouthfeel and refined tannins, finishing impressively long and plush.
