They produce outstanding quality wines that are the benchmark for all winemakers. This fantastic blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Viognier and Mourvèdre create an exciting bold wine. It has a big deep ruby colour in the glass with aromas of dark berries and oak. The palate has ripe sweet flavours of plum and small amounts velvety blackberries with licorice. The tannins are fierce yet also well entwined with the structure of the wine. Overall I have to say it is a super wine and extremely well made. Winemaker's Comments: The shiraz, grenache, viognier blend is a tribute to Henry Evans who planted the first vineyard of seven acres at Keyneton in 1853. He quickly developed a reputation for producing the best wines in the southern colony. Following Henry's death in 1868, his widow sarah exercised her temperance convictions by closing the winery and uprooting all the winegrapes. Deep crimson in colour. Lifted, floral aromas of blackberries, plums, anise and cedar with sage, pepper and mace notes. Sweet, ripe, berry fruit flavours on a complex, layered palate of great depth and length. Blend: 75% shiraz, 15% grenache, 8% viognier and 2% mourvèdre grapes grown in the Barossa (Barossa Valley and Eden Valley) 14.5% ALC Region: Barossa Valley and Eden Valley Cellaring Potential: Drink up to and beyond 2013 Awards/Trophies: "Crackerjack wine. Dangerously easy to drink too. Both to smell and to taste - it really hooks you in. Warm flavours and aromas of liquorice and leather, raspberry and ink. Lots of long, slatey earthen tannin too. It's got the lot: length of flavour, complexity, smooth mouthfeel and X-factor. 94 Points " - Big Red Wine Book 2010-2011
