Yalumba Distinguished Sites Steeple Vineyard Shiraz 2018 Barossa Valley – 6 Bottles

WINERY INFORMATION The single site shiraz is sourced from the Yalumba Steeple vineyard. This old block of Shiraz was planted in 1919, on its own roots, close to the Light Pass township on the floor of the Barossa Valley. The soil is well drained and consists of a marked contrast in texture between the surface soil and the subsoil. TASTING NOTES The Steeple captures this cooler Barossa vintage. This has a cool fruit spectrum of cedar and fresh herbs mingled with eucalypts and seasonal red berries, powdery spices and earthiness. Certainly not lacking in any concentration, it’s all about the fruit delivery. The palate is tightly wound with a generous selection of mixed red fruits, great acid and tannins, to see it cellar well for the medium term. Enjoy with rosemary lamb and roast vegetables.
