Sourced from vines ranging from 22 years up to a staggering 95 years old in the Southern Barossa. Careful cellaring will see this wine develop elegantly for up to 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright red berry notes from whole bunch fermentations are bolstered by sub-regional notes of chocolate and spices. Upfront flavours of toasted cedar from premium French oak barrels are integrated with black berry and plum fruit flavours. The regional notes persist on the palate in the form of anise, black pepper, and a touch of iodine. The palate is big and bold reflecting the excellent growing conditions of the 2016 vintage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCellar now to 2040\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs well with Duck Confit with mash potatoes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal \u003c\/strong\u003e- China Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Awards 2017\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal \u003c\/strong\u003e- Sydney Royal Wine Show 2021\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal \u003c\/strong\u003e- Barossa Wine Show 2022\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGold Medal \u003c\/strong\u003e- International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition 2024\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e - Tyson Stelzer - Halliday Wine Companion 2021 \"\u003cem\u003eHand-picked fruit from the southern part of Barossa, planted between 1991–1994. 5 parcels, 3 with partial whole-bunch fermentation; matured 14 months in mix of new and old French and American oak. The fragrant, exotic spice of century-old Barossa vines is something to behold, heightened magnificently by carefully gauged whole-bunch fermentation. Classy, polished dark chocolate oak sits just below the fruit at every moment throughout a finish of incredible persistence and undeviating line.

Primary black fruits and liquorice are still the theme, intricately framed in high cocoa dark chocolate and set within a fantastic chassis of firm, fine, enduring tannins.
