Some wines are made to impress. This one was made to be perfect. The producer subjects this booming shiraz to an almost unreasonable level of scrutiny before a single bottle leaves the winery. That's what makes it the flagship, pièce de résistance - and honestly, one of the most complete Barossa wines we've seen in years.

Why do we love this wine?
A blend of Greenock Barossa fruit and high-altitude Eden shiraz from the cooler 2017 vintage - and that cool season is everything here. Nearly a decade into its journey and this wine is looking better and better every single day, with blackberry, raspberry, dried fruits, leather, nutmeg and a mushroom-driven complexity that keeps building in the glass. The tannins are fine and completely seamless, the balance is immaculate, and the finish has a depth and authority that very few Australian shiraz at any price can match. This is not simply a great Barossa shiraz. This is what Barossa shiraz aspires to be.
