The wine

This is a single vineyard wine directly descended from RunRig and intricately linked. David Powell planted cuttings from very old RunRig vines in 1994 and went on to create the Barossa Valley's first and highly successful Syrah and Viognier co-fermented wine. The Viognier (8%) used here had already been pressed lightly for RunRig, and the Syrah (92%) was then crushed on top. The blend developed and matured for 18 months in French oak barrels that were previously used for ageing RunRig wines.

A vibrant, deeply dark purple colour, it boasts a richly expressive nose, displaying vividly aromas of dark fruits along with tarry nuances and underlying floral hints. Full-bodied and wonderfully concentrated on the palate, it reveals a velvety structure with silky-smooth tannins, enhanced by the jasmine and apricot aromatic edge from the Viognier. Sensationally lush and long-lasting, it has years ahead in the cellar for those preferring to wait.
