The Lone Palm vineyard gets its name from a single old palm tree next to the original cottage built in the late 1800’s. The same palm trees that line Seppeltsfield Rd and can be seen from the tasting room at the winery. It was under the shade of the properties single old palm tree on a mild Autumns day that the first of the wines from Lone Palm Vineyard were tasted, and from there, a new wine range was born.

A selection of the best barrels from all the vineyards from on the Western Ridge of the Barossa Valley. Hand picked Shiraz from vineyards in Marananga, Greenock, Stone Well & Seppeltsfield all separately traditionally fermented in open fermenters. 

Made only in exceptional vintages, selected from a handful of the best barrels. 

Powerful and captivating, the wine exhibits black and blueberry, anise, fennel, cedar, and dark chocolate notes on the nose. The concentrated palate offers outstanding weight and multi-layered mouthfeel, superbly enhanced by velvety texture and plush tannins. Immensely appealing with magnificent complexity. At its best: 2026 to 2043. Rating: 97 Points; Wine Orbit 

This is the icon of the range from this team – I had not realised that when tasting but there is no doubt it stood out as very special. That was immediately evident. The fruit comes from Marananga, Stonewell, Greenock and Seppeltsfield – Barossa names don't come much bigger! A portion of whole bunches are included and the wine spends twenty months in a mix of French and American hogsheads. The final wine is a barrel selection. A dark maroon hue here, the nose exhibits notes of chocolate, blackcurrants, bay leaves, smoked meats, plums, cloves, mocha and mulberries.

There is still plenty of evidence of toasty oak, with integration well underway. A wine which treads the tightrope between power and refinement and does it majestically. After time in the glass, we also see the emergence of rose petals and cassis. This is really good stuff. There are signs of early complexity, which one can reasonably expect to grow over time. Seamless, supple and seductive, there are silky tannins and serious length. Superb. It is the extra refinement which sets it apart. Ten to fifteen years of pleasure ahead of it.
