Formerly known as Orlando Centenary Hill Shiraz, the release of this wine has been much anticipated following the brilliant 1995 and 1996 vintages. Not only has the wine had a name change, it’s also dropped in price which is a pleasant surprise for wine consumers. This would have to be the last wine released from the great 1998 vintage.

The wine was matured for 25 months in American oak and then given a further 4 years bottle age before being released. Very deep crimson colour with deep crimson hue. Superb perfumed nose with violet top notes followed by vanilla, confectionary, cedar and spice. The palate flavour profile is refined with violet infusions, chocolate, confectionary, vanilla and white pepper evident. Excellent length and depth. Long aftertaste of confectionary, vanilla and spice. Limited stocks.
Cellar 4-5 years (2010-2011)
