CRITIC REVIEWS
Angus Hughson
This 2020 single vineyard Shiraz from the suburbs of Adelaide offers up an enticing, youthful mix of moderately powered dried Italian herb, mulberry and fruit pastille aromas with French oak well matched. It s a firm and sinewy style thanks to juicy acidity and dense tannins with meaty/spicy flavours providing some support although the structure currently seems a little heavy on a lingering finish. It needs time to settle and find its groove.

5.2-ha property. Open fermenters, then in a basket press that s only 10 m from the barrels, so compact is this historic operation. 15 months in French oak (30% new, 40% one year old) and American oak (30% one year old) hogsheads. TA 7 g/l, pH 3.63.Mid to dark crimson. Complex, complete, well-integrated nose - different form the earlier wines. Still some tannin on the end. But revitalising, if very ripe, fruit on the palate.
