Green's Vineyard is an ancient vineyard located in the Vine Vale district of the Barossa Valley. The warm and highly continental climate here produces fruit of great intensity and ripeness, which is hand-harvested and fermented in small, open vessels prior to basket pressing and maturation in 100% new French oak for 30 months. Layered and complex, the nose shows blackberries, coffee, and mocha with spicy French oak overtones. The full palate offers dense and strongly varietal Shiraz characters of ripe plum fruits, tar, molasses and anise, with finely integrated tannin and great persistence.

The opaque purple/black-colored 2006 Green’s Vineyard Shiraz has an already complex perfume of licorice, scorched earth, mineral, violets, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. Mouth-filling, dense, and opulent, it has gobs of layered flavors, intense spiciness, and exceptional length. It demands 6-8 years of cellaring and will drink at its best from 2015 to 2030.
