Ringland acquired the neglected site in 1994 and spent years restoring the ancient vines, which now produce remarkably low yields of intensely concentrated fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2013 is deeply coloured and powerful, offering layers of blackberry, black cherry and blueberry alongside violets, liquorice, dark chocolate, baking spice and savoury smoked-meat notes. Despite its formidable concentration, the wine has impressive freshness and drive, with dense yet polished tannins carrying the rich fruit through an exceptionally long finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is a wonderful sense of old-vine character here: profound depth and Barossa generosity balanced by the savoury complexity that comes with age and a challenging, low-yielding site. A remarkable expression of Australian Shiraz and one of Chris Ringland’s defining wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are only 1350 bottles, 139 magnums, 18 double magnums and 3 imperials (6 litres!) made of this wine, so get it while you can.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chris Ringland","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ Shiraz","offer_id":54038254780699,"sku":"124364","price":900.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/0457\/7307\/files\/chris_ringland_dry_grown_shiraz_2013.jpg?v=1790315944","url":"https:\/\/finewinemerchant.com.au\/products\/2013-chris-ringland-dry-grown-barossa-ranges-shiraz","provider":"Fine Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
