Tasting note
The wine bursts with Barossa Shiraz flavors: plums, black fruits, and warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and 5 spice. Touches of mid-palate sweetness, mocha, and black olive complement seamlessly integrated soft tannins. Subtle oak lets rich dark fruit shine. A fantastic Barossa Valley Shiraz, excellent value.
Viticulture
Sourced from sixth generation vignerons, the Riebke family vineyards are located in the Northen Barossa district of Ebenezer. The vines have an average age of 35 years, and are predominantly grown on dark loam soils and are known to produce rich juicy fruit flavours.
Vinification
Source blocks are harvested separately and fermented in a range of open fermenters. Pumped over by hand twice daily, the ferments are pressed to tank after 5 to 7 days on skins then racked to seasoned oak for 12 months prior to careful blending and bottling.
Food Match
Fruity and generous, this wine is suited to a wide range of dishes or can simply be enjoyed by the glass with friends.
