Place

The Attunga 1865 Shiraz celebrates the incredible legacy and longevity of a tiny, single Shiraz vineyard that was planted near Auburn in the Clare Valley over 150 years ago. Considered to be one of the oldest commercially producing vineyards in Australia.

Vintage Conditions

Made only in exceptional years, and cropping at less than one tonne per acre, the berries were tiny, thick skinned and hand sorted.

Winemaking

Open fermented and basket pressed before maturation in a combination of new and one year old, tight grained, French oak hogsheads for 22 months. Bottling the wine unfined and unfiltered has preserved and enhanced the vineyard’s unique terroir and varietal character.

  • Nose

    Nose

    Richly lifted and focused nose, a complex blend of dark plums, old liquorice, tarry notes and generously framed toasty French oak spices.

  • Palate

    Palate

    Primary flavours of deep plums, dark cherries and fresh liquorice seamlessly combine with the potent strains of new French oak and fine tannins in an obvious ode to its impeccable pedigree. Its length and structure is a clear indicator of its maturation potential.
