New to the Society's Australian range, this is a thoroughly modern Barossa Shiraz, grown sustainably, foot trodden and wild fermented, with a portion of whole-bunch. It ages for 15 months in very large French oak foudres, so there is no discernible oak influence. Instead this is about vibrant and juicy sweet forest fruits, and an impressive purity. Very beguiling, with modest alcohol.
