- This wine has a deep colour and aromas of blackberry and plum, with toasty coffee and spicy oak notes. The palate is rich and intense, featuring flavours of plum, blueberry, and mocha. The ripe and dense tannins provide great structure and length to the palate.
The fruit was fermented in stainless steel vertical fermenters for four to six days at temperatures between 26 and 30°C. The wine was then bag-pressed at 1° Baume and left to ferment until dry. It was then racked onto French oak for malolactic conversion before being clarified via centrifuge into stainless steel storage. 25% of the blend was transferred to used French and American oak barrels for approximately four months of maturation. Once all parcels were completed, the final cuvee was carefully blended and prepared for bottling.
The Winemakers Reserve Black Shiraz is a densely hued, rich, and fleshy Shiraz with generous aromas of blackberry and plum over toasty coffee and spicy oak. It is full-flavoured and intense, with rich plum, blueberry, mocha notes and ripe tannins imparting great structure and length.

| Winery | The grapes for this wine are mainly sourced from the vineyards in Padthaway, South Australia. The vineyards have sandy loam over clay soils, which were formed on old lagoon sediments. These sandy soils don't retain much water or nutrients, which helps concentrate the grapes' flavours. The vines are grown on single-wire trellises to ensure an open canopy. Drip irrigation is used in the vineyards to manage water supply and reduce evaporation by applying water directly above the roots. The grapes are harvested during the cooler nights to retain their freshness. Ralia, where the soils are sandy loam over clay, formed on old lagoon sediments.
