2006 Black Sash - Special Release

This wine is a memorial to the majestic old vines which were tragically uprooted from their Barossa Valley earth during infamous Vine Pull scheme of the 1980’s.  Our century old estate vineyard, also bears the name ‘Black Sash’ and pays tribute to those now even older ‘survivors’ – those vines which serve as a living reminder  of the value of resilience in the face of adversity and the relevance of tradition in an environment of constant change .  This evocative wine captures this spirit. It has been handcrafted with the use of traditional methods from the fruit of old vines, and delivers a rich, opulent palate, a fleshy core of dark fruit sweetness and a finish of majestic length.
