Place

Crafted from old vine Shiraz from our estate grown vineyards adjacent the winery, the Oracle continues to display the opulence, varietal power and regional character the valley is so famous for.

Vintage Conditions

2014 was a cooler and more protracted vintage in the Clare Valley, allowing the Shiraz blocks along the west face of the Golden Hillside to ripen more slowly, bringing all parcels to their very optimum levels of maturity.

Winemaking

Low yielding Shiraz parcels were chosen across our golden hillside vineyards, vinfied separately using time honoured traditional techniques, then aged for 18 months in a selection of new and one year old French oak hogsheads. Bottling occurred without any fining or filtration.

  • Appearance

    Appearance

    Brick red in colour with crimson hues.

  • Nose

    Nose

    Richly hedonistic, the nose jumps out of the glass, vigorously capturing the alluring aromas of dark chocolate, coal tar, exotic spices and complimentary French oak char.

  • Palate

    Palate

    A wine of tremendous concentration, complexity and understated elegance, the palate brims with riper plums fruits, dark chocolate and tar nicely paired with classy French oak and polished tannins that carry over in the mouth well after the wine has been consumed.
