Ancestor-vine shiraz doesn’t get much more compelling than this - sourced from the Lange family’s block perched beside the North Para River. And yes, the fruit’s got stories to tell. Rich, spicy and perfumed, it walks the line between power and poise like a seasoned pro. It opens with a seductive hit of dark cherry, dark plum and blackberry, backed by layers of cocoa, baking spice and Black Forest cake vibes for days. It’s generous, sure, but not overblown. Bright acidity and grainy, ripe tannins give it lift and structure. It’s impactful. It’s layered. And it’s got a very long road ahead if you can resist pulling the cork now. A seriously juicy old-vine Barossa that over-delivers in every way.
