Seville Estate Reserve Old Vine Shiraz 2020
The 2020 season was characterized by mild weather with an average rainfall in most months, causing their harvest dates to be pushed back into the second week of March. Overall, it was a difficult season to manage considering difficulties exposed by bushfires and lockdowns that the whole country faced. Despite the low yields they are incredibly fortunate to have produced an outstanding 2020 vintage. The 2020 vintage was exceptional for Shiraz. The combination of small crops and mild-warm conditions resulted in perfect flavor development. The wines are concentrated, showcasing a red berry spectrum while retaining the high-toned aromatics of nutmeg, allspice and pepper. The only disappointing thing is how limited it is!

Beautifully perfumed and pure. Redolent of raspberry coulis, peony, Asian spices and potpourri. Supremely elegant and structured, there's a gentle meatiness to go with the pure red fruits. The tannins are silky and persistent.
