Part of the vineyard was planted in the '60s with cuttings from Mount Edelstone Vineyard, the remainder planted in the '90s, destemmed, 6 days on skins, matured for 2 years in French puncheons (5% new). A very, very distinguished Eden Valley shiraz; the intense black fruits/licorice/spice fruit has absorbed the French oak and largely dismissed the tannins, the latter providing a distant drum beat on the exceptionally long finish and aftertaste.
