Robert O'Callagan's vineyard sourcing contacts are unmatched in the Barossa. They come both through his work in the 60's and 70's as vineyard liasion officer for Seppelts and through his campaigning through the 1980's to prevent the venerable old Shiraz vineyards from being pulled out. Such great support generates great loyalty.
So when Robert sources his fruit for this fabulous blend of Shiraz and Cabernet he can source fruit from some of the very best vineyards in the region. Given a fabulous vintage like 2002, the quality is exceptional.
Good colour, Medium in weight, very complex and superbly balanced. There are exceptional fruit flavours of blackberries and blackcurrants, fine tannins and subtle oak lead into a long, luxurious finish. It carries its 14.9% alcohol with ease.
