100% 93-year-old single-vineyard shiraz grapes grown in the Eden Valley wine region.

Matured in 90% new and 10% seasoned, French (67%) and American (33%) hogsheads for 18 months prior to blending and bottling.

The Mount Edelstone vineyard, situated in the Eden Valley, was planted in 1912 by Ronald Angas, a descendant of George Fife Angas, who founded South Australia. Unusual for its time, the vineyard was planted solely to shiraz in ancient 540-million-year-old soils which are deep red-brown clay-loam to clay, resulting in low yields from nearly 100-year-old dry-grown ungrafted vines. First bottled as a single-vineyard wine in 1952, it has become recognised as one of Australia’s greatest shiraz wines.

Deep red with violet hues. Rich aromas of ripe blackberries and plums with complex savoury hints of sage, black pepper, star anise and dark chocolate. The alluring palate is an intense and concentrated blend of sweet, juicy plum fruit and savoury spice with layers of seamless texture, lush tannins and a lingering finish.

Exceptional vintage, 20+ years (from vintage).
