Cellar Vineyard Shiraz 2023 - New Vintage

Three truly unique Shiraz wines where everything has been kept as consistent as possible, picking dates, winemaking approach, oak regime and maturation. The only thing that is different is the terroir each wine comes from.

Cellar Vineyard – the home of the Black Sheep. We watch the change in seasons play out across it from our Cellar Door; summer heat through to winter squalls. But, below the ground, the black, cracking clay remains the same; steadily producing intense, structure driven, textural wines year in year out.

Winemaker's Notes

Cellar Block is often slow to shine; the secrets of the black clay only told in time. The trade for this longevity in bottle is a more defined texture in its youth that needs age to become supple.

Bouquet & Palate

Fresh turned earth, elegant violets, pomegranate mollases, blood and iron. Amid campfire char, there are cola notes, demerara sugar, and black pepper. Ripe blue plums and rhubarb. Coal smoke sweetness. There’s an aromatic solidity matched by the dark expanse of the palate. Tannin like polished granite walls in ample fruit, supporting, elongating, and amplifying.
