WINE DESCRIPTION
The Seven Acre vineyard sits on a 500-meter strip of land sloping west to east from Seppeltsfield Road towards Greenock Creek homestead. Planted in 1993 with cuttings from the Creek Block, the original vineyard, the site features a blend of bluestone, quartz, and shale at the top, transitioning to sandy loams and terra rossa near the homestead. This mix of geologies creates exceptional complexity in the wine. The Seven Acre Shiraz is the most elegant in the portfolio, with aromas of graphite, floral notes, blueberries, blackcurrants, and hints of charcoal. The palate is poised, offering balanced fruit, fine tannins, and mineral character.
