90 / 100"Medium to full brick-red colour with distinct, premature tawny tints. The bouquet is very vegetal and undergrowth-like. Query whole-bunch fermentation? The palate is medium-bodied at most, with a lack of the bright, fresh, rich-fruit flavour that is more typical of the region and vineyard. It is a nice wine in a very different style. A cooler-year style, but it's a bit vegetal and tapered. (The only vintage not cork-sealed. 1200 bottles produced)"

Tasting Notes
Poonawatta The 1880 Shiraz is one of the last remaining vineyards of its era, and one of the oldest in Australia. Established in 1880, this small, unique and special vineyard of weathered vines produces premium fruit with an exceptional heritage, underpinned by a foundation of quality and character formed over 140 years. As custodians of these wonderful old vines, we craft our flagship wine, The 1880 Shiraz; a wine with genuine heritage and true single vineyard provenance.
