2021 Spirit of Place Shiraz

COLOUR | Deep concentrated black in colour 

AROMA | Complex aromas of earth, tar, wood fire, smoke, moss rock, mint, dried herb and sautéed plums complete the picture.

PALATE | The dense and layered fruits take off like a rocket in your mouth. The acid and tannins take off, chasing after the fruits trying to reign it all in, and what a job it does. 

My favourite aspect of this wine is the finish. It motors along into the late palate with a whiplash of chocolate and rich berried fruits, singing along slowly.

This wines’ evolution in the cellar has been very interesting to capture over the past 18 months, I have shared a love/hate relationship with this bottling, always hoping it would live up to its early promise in barrel. I am very happy that now, post bottling it has exceeded my expectations... wow! This is simply delicious and shows the magic that only a truly great 100+ year old vineyard can possess. Lock and load, be brave and cellar this bottling for 15+ years and it will age at a snail’s pace, this is a richly rewarding adventure.
