Magnum 2018 Lineage Shiraz
$1,000.00
/ 1.5L bottle
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’.

Varietal
- Shiraz
Colour
Medium to deep crimson with purple hues.
Aroma
An intense aroma of ripe Satsuma plum, mocha, vanilla, and savoury notes combined with hints of cedar and sweet spices.
Palate
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.
"These are wines of great historical significance, not to mention quality, and should occupy a lofty place in the pantheon of Australian wine."
Huon Hooke, The Real Review
