Deep crimson colour.
This Shiraz paints a beautiful picture of the Stone Well vineyard. Right from the nose, concentration is the key character of this wine. Dark fruit and toasted, spicy tones of black pepper and tobacco give it a brooding quality the draws one to the glass. The oak is elegant and integrated and defines yet another layer of aromatics.
On the palate the richness and fruit drive of the Stone Well clay soils is evident. The wine is generous, ripe and round. Dark plum and blackberry notes are complemented by an integrated ‘bunchy’ savouriness. The structure is big, with a full body, good acidity and big tannins that stretch into a lingering finish.
This Shiraz drinks fabulously now, but it will continue to develop for decades in the cellar.

Vintage Notes
Vintage Notes
Deep soaking winter rains that trickled into spring provided a spectacular start to the growing season. The moist soils minimised the threat of frosts, followed with a mild spring at bud break made for a promising start to an incredible vintage. Despite its dryness, the growing season was relatively mild. Warm days, cool nights and little to no disease pressure gave rise to fruit rich in flavour and naturally high acid, all with relatively modest sugar levels. The wines produced from 2021 will drink well young and many, if allowed, will cellar well to remind us of the great vintage. One of the best vintages in the recent decade.
