Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Pristine berry fruits dominate the nose. Initially, the reds fruits are apparent - cranberries and redcurrants but then there is darker fruit more blackcurrant.

Flavours and Palate

A classic medium-bodied Shiraz palate. Crunchy dark berries with black pepper and some sweeter cinnamon notes.
The 2019 has a lovely texture - fine tannin with lively acidity.

"Some fruit comes off the Undoolya vineyard planted in 1894. This has slipped comfortably into a seamless wine. Supple, ripe fruit, lightly spiced with cedar, licorice root and cinnamon. The palate is fuller bodied but so restrained. The tannins are absurdly fine, with length like no tomorrow." - Jane Faulkner

"Deep crimson. Intense pure blackberry kirsch cassis aromas with dark chocolate, roasted chestnut notes. Generous and chocolaty textured with ripe black berry, red and dark cherry fruits, fine velvety bitter-sweet tannins and underlying dark chocolate, mocha, vanilla notes. Finishes Claret-firm and inky with persistent cassis, dark berry notes. A retro-modern style evoking the Coonawarra Claret styles of yesteryear and the refinements of modern viticulture and winemaking. Based on “old vine” shiraz from the 1894-planted Undoolya Vineyard, the 1925-planted Johnston Block vines and other older blocks. A very fine vintage." Andrew Caillard MW

"There’s plenty of noise out there about “cool-climate” shiraz, yet Coonawarra is often left out of this discussion. Time for that to change, especially with this outing, taking into account that 2019 was considered an “elegant” year in the region. This shiraz is definitely a fine example of what can be, given that context. Pepper – pink and black – with crimson fruit expression, bright and expressive, tended by finessed tannins that sit neatly in the back pocket of the palate allowing flavour and spice to dwell and delight. Apart from that – it’s also really, really tasty." - Tony Love
