Yalumba Steeple Shiraz, Barossa Valley, Australia, 2015

The 2015 single site Shiraz is sourced from the Yalumba Steeple vineyard. This old block of Shiraz was planted in 1919, on its own roots, close to the Light Pass township on the floor of the Barossa Valley. The soil is well drained and consists of a marked contrast in texture between the surface soil and the subsoil.

The Steeple Vineyard Shiraz is matured in new oak barrels from the unique Sylvain Collection barrel series, where a maximum of 60 barrels are crafted world-wide each year, and of which we take just 4. These barrels have been sourced from historical trees more than 350 years old.
