A velvety midnight-black heart, infused with a subtle crimson undertone, sets the stage for an olfactory journey. Rich aromas of indulgent chocolate bullets and ripe dark plums tantalize the senses, while embracing notes of toasted vanillin oak, mocha, and spicy earth add depth and complexity. Upon savoring, the palate is greeted with opulent flavors of dark plum, licorice, and decadent dark chocolate, delivering a luxurious mouthfeel complemented by the subtle embrace of toasty oak. Mocha, earth, and spice nuances dance alongside, enriching the experience. Silky-smooth tannins caress the palate, while the lingering presence of toasted oak extends gracefully into the long, satisfying finish. Best enjoyed over the next 5-6 years.
As generational Barossans we fully understand that great wine takes time, from understanding our regional soils, to the vineyards that have grown in these soils for decades, to finding the barrels that brings out the best of the variety and style. The winemaking skills and techniques have been uncompromising from the early days of Barossa wine production and these come to fruition as we blend the patient rewards of the season. These are the attributes that underpin our Slow Grown Barossa Shiraz – from the Soul.
