Six Pack: 50 Year Old Vines Shiraz 2021

From select Shiraz vineyards planted over 50 years ago.

The grapes are handpicked, destemmed, but not crushed, and spend seven days on their skins in open fermenters with hand-plunging twice daily to more gently extract colour, flavours and tannins.

This is followed by careful basket pressing and malolactic fermentation in a combination of new and seasoned French oak prior to 24 months of maturation in our cellars.

The grapes from this wine come from just estate vineyards in the Vine Vale parish of the Barossa on alluvial Sandy Brown loams.

These low-yielding “Barossa Old Vines” were planted before 1965 and are now fully mature. They have a root structure and trunk thickness that encourage diversity of flavour and character. Their worthiness has been proven over many vintages, consistently producing the highest quality fruit.
