A lean and approachable Barossa Valley Shiraz. Depth and intensity without over-extraction.

The fruit was sourced from Tommy Schiller’s 25+ year old vines in the Barossa Valley. 100% destemmed berries were fermented in stainless steel tank with minimal pump overs and punch downs. Free run was racked at 3 baumé straight to 2 French oak barrels for barrel fermentation, one brand new. Skins were pressed straight to tank and then racked off fine, and lees from the malolactic fermentation were racked off post ferment.
It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulphur at bottling.

A Shiraz of real presence and composure, this is full of the black cherry and blackberry fruits that are a signature of old vine Barossa Shiraz, with Sven’s signature elegance. Not just fruit but licorice, cracked black pepper, game meats and savouriness. A lifted palate with a sturdy frame of acid and tannin. Barossa with more than a hint of the Rhone.
