Shiraz and Mataro for the 2017 Lyndoch Road was selected from our quality low yielding Gomersal vineyard, fermented on skins for 10 days before being matured in new and seasoned American oak hogsheads for 22 months to add further complexity and finesse.

Aromas of black cherry, Christmas cake and cedar, combine with flavours of spiced plum and dark fruits, producing a balanced wine with structure and a lingering finish.

FOOD SUGGESTION: One for me, one for you - best served with and in Mushroom & Creamy Cheese Ragu (click for recipe).

GOLD; “The impact on the palate is fluid and aromatic, in perfect harmony with the olfactory qualities, the tannic constitution is silky. The finish balances between soft heat and freshness, leaving a saline flavor. The beauty of this wine is due to the magical symbiosis of these exuberances.” ~ 2020 Vinalies- Paris Wine Show

92pts; “Deep, dense, dark red/purple colour. The bouquet is fresh and bright with dark fruit aromas, touches of oak-char, spice and graphite. The wine is rich and deep in the mouth, intense and satisfying, with a touch of lushness, lovely balance and poise. Drinkability is high, but it would also take some age. A serious glass of red and great value.” ~ Huon Hooke, The Real Review

92pts; “A deep, dense purple colour. Dark chocolate and ripe plums, a vivacious nose - black olives and hoisin, oak is soft and subservient. A luscious and generous mouthful. Chocolate and blackberries, tannins soft and acidity measured. A true crowd-pleaser.” ~ Nick Butler, The Real Review

4.5 STARS; Eligible for Wine of The Year Taste off ~ 2020 Winestate Barossa & Eden Valley
90pts ~ 2021 Halliday Wine Companion
