Purple Palate

Winemaker Tim Smith sourced Shiraz from five Barossa blocks spread across Marananga, Greenock, Ebenezer, Angaston and Lyndoch to create a wine that won world acclaim by winning the International Shiraz Trophy International Shiraz Trophy at London’s International Wine and Spirit Competition 2010. The judges said: “Dark intense red colour to rim. Fantastic nose, framboise, Madagascar spices, cherries in chocolate, liquorice, dried herb and vanilla. In the mouth this has a suppleness that invades every corner of the palate bringing layers of textures and flavours which combine and change repeatedly. This is beautiful precision winemaking which allows the wine to do the talking. Amazing stuff.”
