A flagship Shiraz born of treasured, old vines dating back to 1854, these are some of the oldest Shiraz plantings in the world. Matured in Yalumba coopered oak octaves; the inspiration behind the name of this fine, Barossa wine. This wine matured for 21 months in 25% new French oak barriques and hogsheads, balance in 1 year and older French octaves, barriques and hogsheads.
Tasting Notes
Deep red in colour with purple hues. Alluring aromas of dark red cherries, red licorice and red raspberries. Aromatically, this is a distinctive wine with red, blue and violet fruits. Everything combines on the palate to give generous, cool, rich flavours, combining the
freshness of Eden Valley with the depth of Barossa Valley. Perfectly balanced, elegant and quite simply a beautiful expression of Barossa Shiraz.
Food Pairing
Enjoy with chargrilled eye fillet, chimichurri sauce and your favourite chickpea salad or asparagus and mushroom stir fry.
Cellaring
Will continue to improve in the cellar for 15+ years.
Alc: 14.5%
