Profile

From some of the oldest ungrafted Shiraz vines in the world, all of at least 100 years of age.

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.

Critic awards

Super rich yet gracious and sophisticated, showing blackberry, spiced plum, clove and cedar characters on the nose, leading to an opulent palate that’s packed by rich fruit flavours as well as complex spicy notes. Seamless and wonderfully long on the finish. At its best: 2024 to 2043.

A seriously dark purple with intense aromas. This is special. The impressivestructure and incredible persistence is immediately apparent. While wines like these are hard to keep hands off, it would be vinicide. This is a wine that future generations will be able to open to show just how good Shiraz from the Barossa was back in the day. The early hints of complexity appearing here now will really make their mark given time. There is lashings of chocolate here. Oak is immaculately integrated. Black fruits dominate, though there are hints of blueberries, cassis, leather, cloves, black olives and blackcurrants. Silky tannins and wonderful balance. What is not to love?

The fruit for this 2018 100 Year Old Vines Shiraz is sourced from two vineyards: one in Nuriootpa, the other in Eden Valley. The dense, savory muscle of Nuri plays off well against the sweet, pure fruit of Eden, and so the wine comes to us in two parts. At first sip, the savory (but soft) tannins pave the way for the red, earthy fruit to shine. As the wine moves over the tongue, the lift and life from Eden is in full swing. This is balanced and awesome, showing the density and power of Barossa—the tannins through the finish tighten up the billowing fruit in the mouth. Very good indeed.

Deep, dark purple/red colour. The bouquet is sweet and borderline jammy, floral and highly aromatic, with concentrated, super-ripe fruit giving an essency, fruit compote character that is backed up by a veneer of very firm tannins, and a touch of bitterness. A whopper, which needs time.

— 93 points, The Real Review

Deep nose of damson plums, beautifully ripe blackberries and elderberries. Impressive concentration and ripeness, the expansive palate underlined by a stack of fine tannins. Just a touch of tar character at the long finish, which packs quite a punch.
