The name takes you back to the very beginning of the Barossa when it was discovered by Colonel Light. This is a wine of tremendous fruit concentration and intensity, yet it’s delivered with a refined and controlled poise. Spicy with deep plummy fruits showing an infusion of black olive and sage bush. The palate has a delicious dark chocolate coating across the vibrant high energy red and black fruits. A wine for the cellar but it drinks so well n
Very enticing nose. Super savory and leathery. Palate is rich and textured. Full bodied, gutsy, yet smooth and velvety.

Tasting Notes
Rich and full bodied Barossa Shiraz with a dark berry core, wrapped in earthy leather and spice, with dusty cocoa like tannins, the lush palate continues to a long length.
