From the first declared vintage in 1928, our fortified wines have been Shiraz based, and
the vines that produced the original vintage still provide the grapes for this wine. These
old vines are stumpy, gnarled and deep rooted, distinguished by their small bunches of highly coloured and intensely flavoured grapes.

Tasting Notes: Beautiful perfume with blackberry, blueberry and middle eastern saffron spice on the nose. Dusty, earthy aromas give way nto layers of aniseed and black olive.
The palate beautifully follows the nose; mouth filling, generous, and not overtly sweet. One to cellar for many moons.

ABV: 17.5% / RS: 104.1 g/l / Variety: 100% Shiraz / Origin: McLaren Vale, South Australia
