Made by Peter Gago, the 1998 came from an outstanding year where a cool spring followed by a warm summer with low rainfall created a classic vintage. The wine is predominantly Shiraz (97%) with a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon (3%) and has been treated in American oak for 18 months.

It is youthful and intense with dark, ripened Satsuma plum fruits rising over a base of dark chocolate and licorice with toasty overtones. The palate shows intense layering of fruit – raspberry, blackcurrant and blackberry - laced with licorice and oak. Drink 2010 – 2040.
