Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The first "1860 Vines" Shiraz to be sealed under screw cap closure, the 2008 release presents a lifted bouquet of red berries, cloves, sweet vanilla and tobacco notes, that follows to a velvety palate of black cherries, stewed rhubarb, plum and raspberries; the tannins are fine grained and the length of finish simply impressive.

Professional Ratings

  • 96
    Pale to medium garnet in color, the 2008 1860 Vines Shiraz is profoundly scented of dried mulberries, prunes, kirsch and sandalwood with underlying suggestions of licorice, baking spices, dried roses and peppercorns. Medium-bodied and very elegant in the mouth, it offers a great intensity of spicy, black fruit preserve flavors framed by a medium level of velvety tannins and lively acid through the very long finish. Drink it now to 2025+.

Though Syrah originated in the Rhône Valley of France, Australia is home to the oldest Syrah (called Shiraz here) vines on the planet. Found in Australia’s Barossa Valley, where phylloxera has never threated viticulture, these ancient vines are between 140 to 175 years old!

Having brought fame and merit to the country’s wine scene since the early 1950s, namely via the debut of Penfolds Grange, today Syrah (Shiraz) claims rank as the most widely planted grape in Australia. In fact, the amount of land dedicated to Shiraz in Australia is now almost equivalent to what it is in France. Australian Shiraz has its own personality with flavors and aromas of intense blackberry, fruitcake, menthol, tobacco leaf and umami. Conveniently one can find great Australian Shiraz at a variety of price points but the very best will be dense, gloriously complex and capable of long aging.
