Brothers in Arms No. 6 Shiraz 2000

The family of brothers Guy and Tom Adams have farmed the famed Metala property situated on the floodplains of Langhorne Creek, for over 100 years. The original vineyard was planted back in 1891, making it one of the oldest in the region. These vines, still productive today, are producing some of the most sought after fruit grown in South Australia. The vineyard has grown considerably to its current size over the intervening period, with vines aged anywhere from current planting’s to 110 years. One thing that hasn’t changed in all this time is the fruit from Metala. It is still of outstanding quality, and is still keenly sought after by wineries both large and small.

After many years of watching their fruit leave the vineyard on the back of a truck, largely to disappear into a large winery's mulit-regional blend, Guy and Tom felt the time was right to take the next step and leave a lasting legacy for the next generation. Brothers In Arms was born. Their first release, a 1998 Shiraz, certainly vindicated their decision, being an outstanding wine and selling out in the blink of an eye.

There is certainly an exciting future ahead for Brothers In Arms, with so many blocks of outstanding fruit to select from. After many years of planning, their winery on the family property has become a reality.
