Barossa Valley

Full

Cork

The Marananga sub-region of the Barossa produces concentrated Shiraz of a particular style – dense, almost purple in colour, with a mineral richness that reflects plentiful ironstone in the soil to offset blackberry-accented fruit. The impressive 2022 vintage, characterised by low yields but a slow, even ripening period, shows off all these attributes handsomely, aided by a whiff of dried sage and cracked black pepper. A complex maturation regime – 16 months in a mix of different sized barrels made of French (18% new, 28% one-year-old) and American (14% new, 40% one-year-old) oak – produces a solid tannin profile, but there’s enough acid at the spine of this wine to carry the load through a long, persistent palate.
