Winemaker Notes

1998 Shiraz is vibrant and deeply coloured, showing concentrated and intense spice, pepper and red berry fruit characters balanced with a fresh acidity and firm grape tannins - a wine of truly outstanding potential!!

Lock as many bottles in the cellar as your willpower will allow, but should the spirit weaken dont dismay because it is quite superb drinking now with Glazed Beef Spareribs or Pasta with Prosciutto and Cheese.

Though Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley of France, Australia is home to the oldest Syrah (called Shiraz here) vines on the planet. Found in Australia’s Barossa Valley, where phylloxera has never threated viticulture, these ancient vines are between 140 to 175 years old!

Having brought fame and merit to the country’s wine scene since the early 1950s, namely via the debut of Penfolds Grange, today Syrah (Shiraz) claims rank as the most widely planted grape in Australia. In fact, the amount of land dedicated to Shiraz in Australia is now almost equivalent to what it is in France. Australian Shiraz has its own personality with flavors and aromas of intense blackberry, fruitcake, menthol, tobacco leaf and umami. Conveniently one can find great Australian Shiraz at a variety of price points but the very best will be dense, gloriously complex and capable of long aging.
