Smells of Provence herbs, sea spray, a doughy thread, yellow peaches, and orchard fruits. On the palate, it builds with nuance rather than dominance. Think yellow apples, peaches, citrus fruits and zest, a stony minerality come through, alongside a subtle note of wild fennel. Hand picked, wild yeast, time on skins 10 hours.

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.

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.
