This is a wine that has many personalities and offers layers upon layers of complexity; sweet and savoury all at once. The fragrance is melting pot of violets, plums, savoury spices and bramble.

99 Points – James Halliday Wine Companion 2020
Langton’s Classified “Excellent”.

Varietals: 95% Shiraz, 3% Mataro, 1% Viognier, 1% Marsanne

Region: Yarra Valley (Gruyere)

Vines: Original 1969 plantings of Shiraz and Marsanne with additional Shiraz planted across the 1990’s, Mataro & Viognier drawn from vines planted from 1984 to 1995.

Cellaring: This fragrant style is approachable as a young wine but with some bottle maturation will evolve into a beautifully complex wine. This blend has a track record thus it will continue to evolve for a further 20+ years under suitable cellaring conditions should you want to cellar it for an extended period.
