This top Barossa Valley Shiraz uses local grapes, handcrafted winemaking every step of the way and ageing in top quality French oak barrels result in this powerful, complex, long-lived Aussie red winning multiple national and International awards:
The Poole family – with Matt and Deb at the helm – are proud owners and operators of a vineyard based in Light Pass amongst the famous Barossa Valley wine region of South Australia. The land and vineyard has been passed on through the generations of Deb’s family and their four children are sixth generation descendants.
The aging occurs for 18 months in French barrels that lend a luscious layer of cedar and bacon fat tones to the Shiraz spice, while old American oak brings a more vanilla-scented touch. Christmas cake, dark cherry, plum and vanilla spice on the nose. Elegant palate with mid weight tannins. Silky mouthfilling palate with berries that rises to a very rich finish. Brooding dark fruits complemented by oak and vanilla notes.
