96 / 100"Deep colour; this is a luscious and velvety full-bodied shiraz, black fruits shading out any possibility of red fruits getting a look in; it is far from one-dimensional, ripe tannins and oak adding to (nor competing with) the fruit. This will serenely cruise on over several decades without losing its compass."
- James Halliday
Tasting Notes
This Heirloom Vineyards Shiraz was produced from our best Barossa Shiraz Vineyard whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch-by-bunch, naturally open fermented, basket pressed and stored in French oak barriques from bespoke coopers.
