2016 Single Vineyard 'The Gravels' Shiraz

Our best Shiraz is grown on our 'Gravels' block in Wrattonbully. Situated at the base of an ancient dune, this block has red soil mixed with ironstone gravel, over free draining Gambier Limestone. These tough well drained soils, provide tiny crops of intensely perfumed fruit. An opulent and aromatic wine, full bodied and powerfully concentrated with dark berry fruits and wonderfully exotic spice.  

95 POINTS - HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2019
"Supple, rich and juicy, with a flowing stream of black fruits studded with sparks of spice. The oak is integrated, the tannins fine, the finish long. Drink by 2036".
Aged Tasting Note
“Real cellar age has softened this from powerful to genuinely refined, the dark fruit now sitting alongside cedar and dried spice, the tannins settled right into the wine. A 95 point Halliday score backed it early, and the years since have only added to what's in the glass.”
"A slow Sunday, something rich on the table, no reason to be anywhere else. Stay for the second glass, it only gets better."
