For the 2022 vintage, the base Shiraz comes from a vineyard planted circa 1965, in the Flaxman Valley at 480m altitude. The vineyard has a perfect easterly aspect and gradient to catch the morning sun and is shaded from the late heat of the day. The soils are lean, with clays, mixed ironstone and some scattered quartz.
"Dark, sooty aromas with sparks of flint and torched blackberry suggests something feisty – and indeed, this is a beguiling black-fruited beauty that has grip, brawny muscle and a hint of menace, yet a warm red heart beats at its core. This is gnarly old-vine fruit presented in a lively, modern manner that demands close attention, its carefully constructed tannin profile ensuring captivating drinking now and long into the future." 96pts | jamessuckling.com
