Fruit for the Valley Floor Shiraz was sourced from the Barossa (86%) and Eden (14%) Valleys with vines aged between 9 to 100 years old and yields of 1.5 to 3 tonnes per acre. Maturation took place in a combination of 10% new American oak and 90% seasoned American and French oak hogsheads for a period of 24 months.

Lavish blue and black fruits caress the palate like liquid cashmere.

Impenetrable pitch black core with a deep dark red black hue. Attractive scents of dark plum, liquorice and ripe blueberry show excellent intensity with vanillin oak, subtle mocha and spice notes ensuing. Rich, hefty and fruit driven, the palate is laden with sumptuous ripe dark plum, liquorice and ripe blueberry flavours that are fleshy and opulent in their feel. Elements of vanillin cedar, subtle dark chocolate and spice also chime in. Silky smooth tannins and excellent depth with a long plush dark fruited aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
