Drawn from a distinguished vineyard in the hamlet of Light Pass, The Steeple
Shiraz is a true single vineyard wine. This wine is from biodynamically grown,
low yielding centenarian vines planted in 1919. In the shadow of the Light
Pass Immanuel Lutheran Church steeple, the roots of these old vines run deep
into the ancient Barossa soils, yielding intensely flavoured Shiraz grapes to
create a wine of richness, texture, concentration and length.
