The best parcel of estate, dry-grown shiraz was matured in new French puncheons; the depth of flavour is far greater than that of the Home Vineyard, part due to the integrated French oak, part to the intense red and black fruits. The '20 'cellar to' message on the back label is very pessimistic.

Crimson-purple; hand-picked ex dry-grown estate vines, made in a top vintage, matured in new French oak puncheons; a beautiful medium-bodied wine, the plum and blackberry fruit seamlessly balanced by quality oak and fine tannins; the mouthfeel is satin-smooth, the future unlimited — but you can drink it right now if you wish.
