SEPPELTSFIELD EC3 Tinta Cao Tinta Amarela Touriga, Barossa

HEAD Old Vine Shiraz, Barossa Valley The hand-picked fruit comes in small parcels from up to 100-years-old vines. Theres a little whole-bunch fermentation prior to 12 months in a mix of old and new barrels. There is a measure of Old Vine Grenache to lighten up the classic Barrosa Valley Shiraz richness.

The Mars Express is a masculine Barossan red. A full-bodied offering, that will be enjoyed by all, but will be a staple for the traditional Barossan Shiraz drinker. Beautiful inky black fruits jostle their way into dominance (just!) over rich anise, dark olive and intense charred oak that simply demands attention. Did I mention perfectly balanced tannins and spice? Teamed with an enticing colour, vibrant hue and layers for days. Time to get on board!

Earthy, smoky, gravelly nose, with hints of cured meats and gunflint, intriguing and complex. Robust and very dark on the palate, plush and powerful, mouthcoating density of fruit, that is ripe and textural. A substantial wine with longevity and presence.

Red can be technicolour. Channelled, refracted and filtered to paint a widescreen sensory journey. Blackberry jelly gleams, Doris plum gloams, Nasturtium almost sweetens while grapeskin tightens, burning bright until the finish line in this 2021 Shiraz; the third release of Daniel Ricciardo's DR3 x St Hugo wine collection.
