2024 Shiraz
Shiraz clone “1654” is recognised as a benchmark for the classic Australian Shiraz profile, with intense fruit purity, fleshy mid-palate weight, and velvety tannins. In warm years (as in the 2024 vintage), it shows aromas of dark chocolate, black liquorice, peppermint, with flavours of dark fruit, plum, and spice.

Our vineyard, planted in the mid-1990s, includes three distinct Shiraz clones — among them, “1654”, originates from Barossa Valley vine stock and was selected in 1944 by Dr Harry Tulloch as the number one clone in his search for superior Shiraz variants. “1654” opens with enticing aromas of dark chocolate, Christmas cake, and peppermint. The palate is rich and layered, showing dark fruits and licorice, framed by supple tannins and 14 months of oak maturation. A balanced, fruit-forward Shiraz that will reward cellaring
