The Uncut Shiraz fruit is sourced from 40 year old vines planted on the Tatachilla Road Vineyard. The wine was made with very little intervention, minimally pruned vines, open fermentation, gentle pressing and minimal fining and filtration producing a wine of great balance.

14.5% Alc Other Reviews….
Deep, dense colour; regional licorice and dark chocolate overtones to the blackberry fruit of the bouquet leap from the glass, the medium- to full-bodied palate providing more of the same, with 16 months in French oak doing little more than rounding off the tannins. Screwcap.
