A compilation of parcels, hand picked off a coterie of superior, low yielding blocks at the northwest precincts of Barossa Valley. Some of the growers have been at the centre of Barossa viticulture since early settlement, several generations later, they continue to husband some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the world. A princely harvest of ancient clones is treated to the traditional old world regimens of open ferments, pumpover and basket press, followed by fill into a luxuriously high proportion of new French and American oak hogsheads for two years maturation. A mere two hundred cases are made.
