By visiting this page, we hope that you are either enjoying our Secret Block Shiraz or would like to find out more about it.
Sourced from a small mature vineyard high in the Barossa western ranges, our Secret Block Shiraz displays an amazing aromatic profile, soft mouth-feel with wonderful structure and very silky tannins.
Secret by name, and secret by nature, this magical vineyard hides behind multiple locked gates and windy trails, nestled away with some of the region’s best vineyards. Along with picturesque views of the Barossa and Eden Valley, this vineyard offers high-quality fruit that has always shone, even through the most difficult of vintages.

“This currently quite closed 2022 Shiraz Secret Block, a single vineyard from Moppa Hills, is robust with dense and ripe aromas of plum skin and chocolate with a touch of eucalypt and a rich bed of new oak. Quite muscular and firm, tannins ripe and generous followed by a wall of flavor of powerful and tightly formed flavor. Excellent underlying tension over a long, controlled coal fire finish bodes well for the future.” - Angus Hughson, Vinous
Winemaking
FIRST VINTAGE | 2011
AVERAGE PRODUCTION |Â 4 Barrels
VINIFICATION | One small parcel from this single block was crushed and de-stemmed into a single 5-tonne open top fermenter. The time spent on skins was 10 days with 2-3 pump overs daily. All free run and pressings were combined in tank and after 24 hours the wine was then racked off gross lees to barrel, where malolactic fermentation occurred. The wine was bottled with minimum fining and no filtration.
MATURATION | 18 months in 30% French oak puncheons. Always bottled in November the following vintage.
