Medium deep crimson, intense blackberry, musky plum hint strawberry aromas with charcuterie notes. Seductive plate with fresh buoyant dark berry meaty flavours, chocolaty textures, lovely Mid-palate richness and acid line. Lovely fruit complexity, richness flavour and structure.

Wonderfully complex and engaging, the bouquet shows dark berry, bay leaf, cured meat and toasted almond notes, leading to a gorgeously supple palate that's expansive and persistent. Well supported by refined texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing long and structured. * Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, January 2023 *

The Meta Shiraz fruit is carefully selected from a few vineyards with rocky or hard growing soils. This gives the fruit (and therefore the wine) a brighter, blue fruited and more tightly tannic style.
Growers: this vintage is sourced from ten different growers, across seven sub-regions in the Barossa.

This immediately appeals to the nose with black/blueberry, liquorice, warm spice, and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a generously textured palate offering plump mouthfeel and supple tannins. Beautifully rounded and silky with a lingering, succulent finish. At its best: now to 2035.
