WINEMAKING

To ensure the unique character of this sub-region is exemplified in the wine, small open fermenters and our basket press were employed to gently extract the wine. Ageing in the finest quality oak and selection of the truest barrels has created a wine that respects and expresses its place of origin.

The Barossa has some of the oldest and diverse soil types in the world, contributing to what makes our wines unique. Discover the differences between Barossa’s sub-regions. A journey through the Terroirs is a lesson in the Barossa’s versatility. This is the 12th vintage of this wine from the Ebenezer District, an area famous for its elegant and structured style of Shiraz.

The Ebenezer sub-region within the Barossa has always produced a distinctly different and impressive shiraz. It's at the northernmost part of the valley and its distinctive red-brown earthy soils do impart a character to the wine. This one is a graceful expression with elegance and power, displaying loads of dark berry fruits with a lovely spicy, slightly perfumed lift on the nose. There's a nice subtle ironstone integration here which complements the sweet fruit characters. Impressive wine. Cellar: 15 years
