'This is a gorgeously lush-fruited, seamless wine loaded with blood plum. black cherry and raspberry aromas, laced with pepper and other spices. Intense flavour, barely perceptible, but supportive oak, silken tannins. A model for for the modern Aussie shiraz style."

“A superb Shaw + Smith red. Predominantly Balhannah fruit + Macclesfield fruit in the Adelaide Hills, it was matured in 30% new French oak for 14 months with some whole bunches. Detail is the joy here. Red with purple edges (any Viognier in there? A sighting). Clever. There’s a balancing act going on here, the lightly spicy, dark cherry nose suggests something ripe and powerful, but it’s actually much more contained, with devon, drying tannins and then more spice, the warmth cleverly enveloped into the finish. For a warm vintage this is so well contained. Masterful. Best drinking: 2017-2032. ”

Delicate, fragrant, light to medium bodied but with deceptive power, firm tannins and medium term ageing potential. Light red. Bright nose, really fragrant – juicy cranberries, cinnamon and bergamot. On the palate there is lots of rhubarb and earl grey tea on top of a savoury core – cured meats, stem, sap, and spice. Nice acid cut and grippy tannins.
