Roennfeldt Road in the Marananga sub-region of the Barossa is a bit legndary and it is home to the vineyard providing the grapes for this absolute star Barossa Shiraz. From a wonderful vintage, the wine is matured in French oak, half of it new, for 20 months. 800 bottles. Inky maroon hue, the nose swirls about a weave of aromas, including chocolate, molten dark rich chocolate, black cherries, mocha, soy, cloves and blackcurrants. Deft oak handling here, as it is across the range. A wine of drive, balance, and intensity and great length. There are soft, almost slurry-like tannins. This is still so young, but what a promising future ahead of it. Enjoy over the next 10 to 15 years.
95 pts - Huon Hooke (The Real Review)Very deep red-purple colour, with aromas of black pepper, dark silty loam and humus. The wine is full and rounded, with bright acidity adding energy, the finish of medium length with puckering tannins to conclude.
