Wine Description
The grapes for our Barossa Valley Mataro from the 2021 vintage were grown
high in the hills above Ebenezer on the famed Schulz vineyard. The fruit was
picked from two blocks at perfect ripeness, late in the season but with a
freshness that growing at altitude brings on this special vineyard.
This wine is bright, lifted florals, red fruits, with a medium bodied pallet
supported by fine tannins. It balances the fruit drive of the season with a
savouriness and structure that is unique to Mataro in a fine season. A wine
that is drinking very well on release and will continue to do so for many years.
