Product note
Drawing together three distinct styles of Shiraz from separate blocks and blending them to achieve a full-bodied wine, but also one with nuance. The three primary soil types, in roughly equal proportions, are black cracking clay (imparting a line of structural tannin), alluvial clay (generous middle palate), and deep sand (lifted perfume). The winemaking is deliberately straightforward, aiming to highlight the quality of the fruit and the sites from which it is sourced.
