2021 Lineage Shiraz
This wine is a tribute to patience and persistence while celebrating Shiraz’s pedigree as a classic grape variety. Shiraz’s Lineage dates to Roman times, but the Barossa’s journey with Shiraz began in the 1840s. Professor Johannes Menge advised the Prussian migrants with incisive foresight that viticulture had great potential to thrive in ‘New Silesia’.

Colour
Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.

An intense and lifted aroma of ripe Satsuma plum, mint, mocha, vanilla, and savoury notes combined with hints of cedar and sweet spices.

Rich, sweet fruit is balanced wonderfully with briary, sweet spices and lovely, silky tannins. A full-bodied, textural wine, showing great complexity with hints of cedar and allspice
flowing through to the lengthy, bramble fruit finish.

Slow cooked lamb shanks; crispy skin salmon; roast pork or duck; dark chocolate.
"These are wines of great historical significance, not to mention quality, and should occupy a lofty place in the pantheon of Australian wine."
