From the Barossa Ranges in South Australia, Chris Ringland’s 2016 Dry Grown Shiraz comes from extraordinary dry-grown, ungrafted vines planted in 1910. These ancient vines produce tiny yields of intensely concentrated fruit, giving the wine remarkable depth and power.

The 2016 is packed with blackberry, dark plum and blueberry, layered with liquorice, dark chocolate, spice and subtle savoury notes. Despite its immense concentration, there is impressive freshness and balance, with polished tannins providing structure and carrying the wine through an exceptionally long finish.

Rich, generous and unmistakably Barossan, it combines the warmth and generosity of Australian Shiraz with the complexity and savoury depth that only comes from truly old vines. A remarkable example of Australia’s ability to produce profound, age-worthy Shiraz.
