A profound, delicious example of contemporary Barossa Shiraz and with all profits to charity, that just has to be good news!
97 points - Wine Orbit 'This is immensely appealing on the nose, showing black and purple fruit richness, floral, warm spice, cocoa, and stylish oak aromas, followed by a concentrated palate that offers terrific weight and opulent mouthfeel. It's harmonious and mouth-filling, with impressive complexity and asustained, graceful finish.'
94 points - Wine Pilot (Ray Jordan) 'A combination of fruit has been sourced from the Ebenezer and Eden Valley regions. And the aim has been to gently coax it through fermentation to maturation with minimal input. As a result, it was wild fermented and a gentle extraction process was adopted to achieve that final plush, gentle and intense palate. It's loaded with slightly creamy black fruits, dried herbs, spices and even a little bit of olive tapenade, adding further character and edge. Neat, long finish. Excellent wine.'
94 points - Wine Pilot (Ken Gargett) 'As with their Riesling, all profits from this excellent Barossa Shiraz go to charity. Sourced from vineyards in the Ebenezer sub-region and Eden Valley.The colour is a dark maroon, with a vibrant red rim. We have aromas of aniseed, black olives, blackberries, plums, spices, herbs, black cherries, cocoa powder and truffles. There is good focus, direction, and bright acidity, with a long and lingering finish, with fine tannins. A most impressive and generously flavoured Shiraz, destined to offer enjoyment over the next ten to fifteen years.'
