SKU: KOOMDCSHI21
A single block shiraz from 49 year old vines grown on ancient, dark grey slaty siltstone soils, flecked with ironstone facing south-east at an altitude of 108m. The DC Block is named for Don Cant, the previous owner, and was the first single block wine released from the vineyard.

Wine Style

Red - big, bold, full-bodied

Palate

Power and punch, ready to go a few rounds and buzzing at a different frequency to its siblings. Pomegranate, cranberry and boysenberry freshness support sandalwood and pie crust. A coiled, deep well of fruit bound by savoury textural tannins that build in ever more powerful waves. The ultimate contradiction of lightness and weight, elegance and power – the goal.

”Black fruit, black tea, black olive, but also has a lilac perfume, and maybe some ginger snap biscuit. It’s full-bodied, dense and ferrous, rolls like thunder on the palate, with superb inky tannin, a twist of iodine, manages to be dry and savoury while offering ample fruit sweetness, some red, some blue, some black, and the finish is very long, with chamois-like tannin stamping it with the seal of high quality wine. A beautiful and distinctive expression of Australian Shiraz. Yes”
