2002 Vintage

"The 2002 Shiraz 1914 spent 22 months in 50% new American and the rest older French and American barrels. Reminiscent of a Northern Rhone offering, it is a pure, elegant Shiraz exhibiting notes of tapenade, black cherries, berries, flowers, licorice, and barrique. This medium to full-bodied, dense, beautifully concentrated wine should drink well for 10-12 years."

2001 Vintage
"The brilliant 2001 Shiraz 1914 comes from a parcel of 90-year-old Shiraz vines, and spent 22 months in a combination of American and French oak. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by fresh, lively aromas of creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, and a notion of scorched earth. There are layers of flavor as well as an opulent, full-bodied, voluptuous texture, and terrific purity as well as richness in the finish. The oak component has been completely absorbed. This Shiraz only tips the scales at 14.5% (low by South Australian standards)."

This wine is made by Rolf Binder from shiraz planted in 1914 on the Hahn Homestead property, located between Nuriootpa and Tanunda in the Barossa Valley. A genuine old vine planting such as this is quite rare, hence the unique flavours and seal of authenticy on the bottle cap.
