The Vineyard Series matches specific varieties and sites to give you outstanding examples of single vineyard wines.

Vibrant purple with a purple red hue. Juicy fruit aromatics grab you from the start, blackberry, redcurrant and plums, with hint of black olive and white pepper and the slightest fleck of oak framing it all. The palate is pure fruited, all blackcurrant, plum and red currants with a spice element adding complexity. The tannins are plush and velvety. The acid is perfectly in balance with the fruit. Cool climate shiraz in its purest form.

This wine was sourced from the north-facing Oakridge vineyard sited in the grey alluvial loams of Coldstream.

A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – whole berry fermentation in open vessels followed by 15 months maturation in French oak puncheons.

A cool spring wet spring, mild summer and a long, dry autumn with low crops has resulted in strong varietal characters and fine persistent acidities.
