Description
Yalumba Steeple Vineyard shiraz
This is a shiraz with verve and drive, it sings with bright red and black cherries, while the graphite notes show silkiness and fragrant anise-like fruit.
The red dirt lends the wine a profound depth, layering the brightness of the fruit with savoury notes and the dark tones of the earth.
There is an energy in the fruit, keeping the wine fresh and focussed on structure, with muscular and lithe tannins emphasising the wines refinement and finesse.
Allow 10+ years in the cellar
Light Pass, Barossa
This old block of Shiraz was planted in 1919, on its own roots, close to the Light Pass township on the floor of the Barossa Valley.
The soil is well drained and consists of a marked contrast in texture between the surface soil and the subsoil.
