The Clare Valley might be famous for riesling, but the truth is, some of the highest-quality, most age-worthy shiraz in the country has been humbly produced in the Clare for many, many years. This is a prime example: youthful, powerful fruit, leathery tertiary notes and a sublime tannin/acid structure. This one is the definition of the cliché 'aged to perfection'.

Why do we love this wine?
This wine was built to age, right from the very start - specific rows, of specific vineyards, in specific micro-climates, are chosen for their aging potential. The result is a wine, produced in 2009, that was always intended to be enjoyed now, some 15+ years later. The depth of flavour and concentration of fruit is outstanding, but there's so much more to this wine. Remarkably smooth yet sternly structured, the lively acidity and tannin have not been lost time here, in fact, this wine has lost nothing to time, only added complexity. The classic aged notes of leather and tobacco only act to enhance and contextualise the dark, mulled fruit and youthful acid. This wine looks young and old at the same time, in the best possible way. There's a reason that this producer was one of the original pioneers of the screw cap - it allows them to create wines that age like THIS! Wow!
