The fruit for this wine is grown at around 400m in High Eden - one of the highest points in Barossa, where lean soils keep the yields low and the fruit concentrated. This is a cracker of a wine; it's smooth, dark and velvety with perfumed crushed blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, full of fruit but not at all tiring. It's a lithe, cool climate incarnation of Barossa Shiraz.
