Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
From a 91-year-old vineyard in a cool sector of the Barossa, this fabulous Shiraz was made by Chris Ringland for proprietor Greg Hobbs. After spending two years in both new and old French hogsheads, it offers a cool climate, peppery nose revealing scents of flowers, and red as well as black currants, superb concentration, an enticing texture, and great delineation.

Our vineyard has just 15 acres of vines. It's home to some of the Barossa's oldest Shiraz, planted at the turn of the last century. The vineyard is nestled in the cool, beautiful Barossa Ranges, where the climate and distinct soil structure provide ideal conditions to produce fruit of unique quality.
We have a strong belief in the balance of nature. In striving to maintain this balance between nature and agriculture we have embraced an organic and bio-dynamic approach in managing our vineyard.
