Broad, powerful, concentrated and dense. This is a big deal. The term 'Ancestor Vines' is reserved only for vineyards planted over 125 years ago. This places them as right up there with some of the oldest living Shiraz vines in the entire world, and in this case, they absolutely live up to the hype.

Why do we love this wine?
As a general rule, the older the vines, the better the wines. But why? Well, the simplified answer is that as grape vines mature they begin to produce less fruit. As a result, all of the energy, all of the sun and soil, all of the flavour is condensed into less grapes, so you end up with highly concentrated, perfectly balanced fruit with the capacity to create extremely low quantity, extremely high quality wines that could out-last religion. This gorgeous wine is everything you'd expect from these world-famous vines and more. It’s wonderfully structured, with line and length that promise both immediate enjoyment and serious longevity. Drink it now for its richness and polish, or let it evolve in the cellar through to 2042 and beyond, gaining complexity along the way. This is the kind of wine that rewards patience but doesn’t demand it - powerful yet refined, age-worthy yet approachable. We're all over this one!

Reviews
Tell me what you really think.
Halliday Wine Companion
Deep crimson with rich aromas of blackberry, black cherry and satsuma plum fruits with hints of vanillin oak, roasting meats, baking spices, cedar, fruitcake, licorice, dried tobacco and dark chocolate. It sits at the lighter end of full bodied with a savoury, composed flow of pure fruit, airy, chalky tannins and a lacy acid line. It's an elegant rendition of Barossa shiraz and one with cellaring upside.
Wine Orbit
It's luxurious and enticing, with fruit richness complemented by captivating complexity. The aromas feature intense dark and purple fruits, along with notes of toasted spice, vanilla, and cedar oak. It is bold and flavoursome, yet maintains a structured and harmonious profile, complemented by layers of velvety tannins. The finish is impressively long and satisfying. At its best: now to 2040.
