Full-bodied and velvety, with rich dark fruit layered with liquorice, espresso, and subtle spice. Fresh and dried fruit characters add complexity, supported by fine tannins and balanced acidity, leading to a long, persistent finish. A powerful yet refined Shiraz, showcasing both the generosity of the Barossa and the intricate layers achieved through this traditional Italian technique.
W I N E M A K I N G
Amarone-style Shiraz made from hand-picked grapes placed into 10 kg buckets and rack-dried in a purpose-built, insulated shed with high-intensity air fans. Drying time varies each year depending on grape ripeness, temperature, humidity, and flavour development, gradually concentrating the fruit and increasing Baumé by 0.5°–1.5° while preserving natural acidity. After drying, the grapes are processed into wine and matured in French oak for 18 months, resulting in a rich, concentrated style with depth and complexity.
