Production Details The official PDF says the wine came from three Upper Tintara blocks planted in the late 1990s. Fruit was harvested in the early hours, fermented in open-top vessels with 2–3% whole bunch and daily plunging, then matured for 15 months in French-oak barriques and puncheons, 10% new. The linked producer HTML instead calls the source vines twenty years old, so no exact vine-age claim is proposed. The PDF also reports TA 6.5 without a unit or acidity basis; it is therefore not mapped to total_acidity_gl.
Tasting Notes Dark purple colour; plum, red cherry, blueberry, ironstone and restrained spice aromas; dark and red fruit on a fleshy mid-palate with structured tannins.

Alcohol 14.0%
Grape Varieties 100% Shiraz
Region McLaren Vale
Vine Age 20
Fermentation Vessels Open-top fermenters
Production Details The 2022 growing season was cool, with mild harvest temperatures. Fruit from twenty-year-old vines was fermented in open-top fermenters with daily plunging and then matured for 15 months in old and new oak barrels. The source places “15%” after the barrel description but does not explicitly define its basis, so no new-oak percentage is proposed.
Tasting Notes Deep bright purple; blackberry, redcurrant, raspberry and aniseed aromas; red and black fruit, an inky texture, fleshy mid-palate and savoury finish.
