DESCRIPTION

Varieties:  Shiraz
Region:  Barossa Valley
Eyes: Dark ruby with purple hues
Nose: Balanced and inviting primary aromas of concentrated, soft blackcurrant and dark plum fruit are intertwined in and around secondary glimpses of fresh vanilla bean and a faint presence of well integrated oak spice.
Mouth: The unctuous dark berry fruit and sense of creaminess evident on the nose are also prominent as flavours on the palate. Here they fill out the mouth and roll all the way though to a long and lingering finish. A bright acid structure and some fine tannins provides a clear frame and direction of travel ensuring a genuinely balanced feel to the palate.
Winemaking Notes: This irreplaceable vineyard was planted by Johan and William Jacob in 1847, just eleven years after the foundation of South Australia. These vines are now over 169 years old - some of the oldest vines in the world!
