95 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2021 James Halliday

Only select parcels of Shiraz grown on both red & black soils over limestone on the Davey Estate vineyard are chosen for this wine. The wine is handcrafted in small open & static fermenters to maximise the potential of each small parcel of fruit. Maturation for an average of 13 months in new to 6 year old fine-grained American (50%) and French (50%) oak hogsheads softens, enhances & integrates the fruit & structural components of the wine.

Vibrant magenta. Lifted dark blackberry and mocha aromas are highlighted with a splash of sea-spray, cashew and violet. Full-bodied and seamlessly structured, with a luscious dark berry mid-palate, fine but firm tannins and a balanced acidity that ensures a long, lingering finish.

“Matured for 13 months in new and used oak. 3 trophies McLaren Vale Wine Show ’20. A compellingly endowed shiraz which has managed to emerge from its oak womb with a supple, seductive medium-bodied palate that has an energetic savoury finish, the high point of the wine.” – 95 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2021 James Halliday
