This superb single-vineyard Shiraz is sourced from a six-acre plot that was replanted in 2001. Sadly, the original 1912 vineyard was ripped out in the mid-1980s thanks to the SA governments now-notorious vine pull scheme. Here in the Moppa sub-region the grapes grow on sandier soils than in Greenock (a mere 2km away as the crow flies) producing more perfumed wines with finer tannins. This release is no exception. The fruit was harvested on the 22nd of February and was 100% de-stemmed. The whole berries were sent to small open-top fermenters, and were hand-plunged three times per day. After 18 days on skins the wine was basket pressed into barrel. The wine rested for 20 months in French (25% new) and American hogsheads.

The full, generous flavours of Shiraz are enhanced by careful use of aged Scotch whisky barrels for finishing.

The Barons of Barossa include many well-known and award-winning winemakers from wineries including Burge Barossa, Kaesler, Kalleske, Peter Lehmann and Seppeltsfield, to name only a few. These wineries have selected barrels of superbly aged tawny from their respective cellars to make this outstanding 10 year old blend. This tawny is complex and concentrated with the perfect balance of fine fruit and oak age delivering a wine of generous richness and a lingering finish.
