Deep crimson and violet hues are punctuated by hints of anise, nut- meg and cedar on the nose.

The palate shows layers of plum and raspberry supported by soft velvety tannins. The finish is elegant and textured with a hint of dark chocolate.

This Shiraz wine has been matured for 18 months in French oak Barrels and will mature gracefully over time.

This Shiraz vineyard is planted on a North to South facing slope located in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. This elevated vineyard experiences hill and gully breezes as well as ocean westerly, from the Gulf of St Vincent.

The soils are weathered and leached, consisting of a shallow layer of grey sand overlaying red loam that grades into clay. These own rooted vines average over 30 years old and produce concentrated fruit flavours and aromas at low yields.

    Skye ratings are at least 6 points higher than Hallidays in my opinion.

      98 points is a massive call, it's effectively saying that the wine is near perfect. If it was 98 points good there would have very likely been press and the soms/wine nerds would have bought the shit out it at $50 a bottle and there wouldn't have been anything left by now

      I'd be keen to have a look at a few bottles but there is no way I could commit to a dozen

        Hi funk44.
        I understand where you come from.
        But I will tell you this: If you buy this wine and you are not happy with what you paid for it, we will come and collect the remaining bottles free of charge and give you a refund. You might say that 98 points is a big call. Fair enough. Try the wine and then create your own opinion. I have been in this business for only 9 years and I can say that we are fully qualified and experienced to give an opinion on the wines we sell. As every wine goes through a tasting process and the main thing that we try to achieve is: will our customers be happy with what they have paid for the wine. And in this case everyone has and we have sold it at $18.00/bottle or sometimes $15.00 for a limited time in the past. And the answer has always been yes. We are selling it at this price because it's not always about the money even though we are a business and the money is important, it's not always about the money.
