Vin beskrivelse

Alex Head: Very small parcels of fruit from vineyards 35 to 160 years old are hand-picked, fermented with some whole-bunches and blended to make this traditional Barossan wine. Racked once during elevage of 12 months in larger barrels (some new) and usually a small addition of Old Vine Grenache for balance.

James Halliday (96 points):
"Includes 10% grenache. The old vines range between 35 and 160yo.Open-fermented, 14 days on skins, matured in French oak (20% new), 250 dozen made. It is a highly fragrant wine, the grenache contributing to the fresh red and black cherry fruits."

James Suckling (95 points):  
"This has a fascinatingly fresh and vibrant feel with such effortless depth - the stuff of great, old vines. Raspberry and blackberry aromas abound with ripe and rich plums and dark cherries in play. The sheets of fine and fresh tannin are exceptional. Drink or hold."
