Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Australia's most celebrated wine, created by Max Schubert in the early 1950s in deliberate imitation of Bordeaux's longevity, using Shiraz because that is what South Australia grew. Multi-regional by design and matured in new American oak, with a small proportion of Cabernet in most years. Immensely concentrated: blackberry and dark plum with mocha, liquorice, dark chocolate and the coconut-and-vanilla signature of American barrels, full-bodied with formidable tannin. Famously undrinkable young and famously long-lived — this is a wine measured in decades, not years.
