From some of the oldest ungrafted Shiraz vines in the world, all of at least 100 years of age. Dating back pre-1917, these vines were planted around the time of the establishment of Chateau Tanunda itself.
The wine delivers classical regional characters of dense, spicy blueberry fruit and savoury pan jus. Next come hints of liquorice, plum, and all-spice all delicately interwoven.
A fine-grained tannin structure and depth of flavour all show that this wine is made to last the distance in the cellar. A long-balanced finish with persistence.
From just two small vineyards on the Eastern Edge of Vine Vale (Deep Sandy Loam) and the Nuriootpa (Alluvial Sand over Red Brown Earth) sub-regions of the Barossa
In keeping with the non-interventionist winemaking style, we have neither fined nor filtered this wine.
