    About The Wine


    A savoury and lifted expression of Shiraz from 6 rows of 70-year-old vines. Wildly aromatic from a cool year, this young wine presents a wall of cool blue and black fruit with charcuterie and pepper hints. It’s complete, seamless and utterly compelling on the palate with integrated tannin and a distinctly mineral feel. This wine will continue to improve with age and will reward long cellaring of 10+ years.

    Only 878 bottles produced.

     

    Reviews

    "Serious old-vine Shiraz doesn’t have to be weighed down by bulk – and Alkina has a sprightly championship contender here, showing tight, lean muscle but also a suppleness that makes exciting sparks of pristine flavours dance with lively energy across the palate.

    Precise geological mapping of the Alkina vineyard has identified significantly different soil profiles in components they call Polygons. Here the mica schist of Polygon No1 delivers keen, alert flavours of fine white pepper sprinkled over dry, dark red fruits, with a keen savoury note to enhance the texture.

    There’s stern, focused power here without any unnecessary brawn to force the issue. It’s irresistible now, but likely to intrigue through many years of cellaring."
