Reserve Old Vine Shiraz 2021

Approaching the international classification "Antiquity". The oldes "OLD VINES" in QLD. The nose is bright and clean with hints of spice and raspberry, while the palate bursts with bright berries and a hit of white pepper. French oak (18 months in oak puncheons) built structure & mouthfeel &compliments the delicious fruit characters.


Deep and dense ruby from core to rim. Aromas of mulberry compote, vanilla oil and cedar shavings fill the senses. Palate is rich and weighty with ripe purple berries, dark chocolate and sawdust savoury tones all melded will across a velveteen glide of tannins. Good length and depth to the finish. Will work best with a good dark protein and will offer cellaring rewards

The fruit for this wine is sourced from vines that are 60-plus years old from Ballandean in the Granite Belt. It sees extended time in French oak barrels. With that statement, it's a bit of a distinction in this wine, lots of woody spices, sweet, nougat elements, touches of bourbon and ginger from that oak handling, and fruit is second bested by the rigour of barrel maturation, it seems. A potent, powerful red wine, concentrated mixed forest berries, black olive, pepper, mint and chocolate, but, geez, it would be wonderful to see the wine less adorned by the wood that seems to override fruit here. Reserve doesn't need to be lavish oak, perhaps. Still, it should please many with its richness and potency.
