Tasting Notes
Nose
Intense aromas of blackberry, blueberry, and dark cherry rise from the glass, supported by subtle notes of violets, cracked pepper, and toasty vanillin oak.
Palate
On the palate, this Shiraz delivers succulent dark fruits, spiced fruitcake, and earthy undertones, balanced by a silky tannin structure. The integration of oak adds finesse, while the finish is long, layered, and expressive, showcasing both power and elegance.
Finish
A medium-full bodied Shiraz with remarkable balance, offering a wine that can be enjoyed young for its vibrancy or cellared for 10–15 years to reveal further complexity.

| Winery | In 1964, Jim purchased 28 hectares of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape variety and location. The vineyard is characterised by grey sandy topsoil over a clay subsoil. The vines are trained on a single cordon to promote an even canopy and provide optimal shade. The Clare Valley has a high diurnal temperature difference; the cool nights allow the vines to retain balancing acidity, producing an elegant style of Shiraz. |
