Description
RB1, Rockbbare number one. The best parcels from the best sites in South Australia. This wine is from two low yielding adjacent blocks on a vineyard peppered with ironstone near Marananga in the Barossa Valley. The young clay loam soils around the region overlie an astonishing array of very old geology. At 280 metres above sea level, these mature vines produce wines of distinctive style and concentration. Hailing from a single Marananga vineyard, concentrated grapes saw an extended maceration and a complex oak regime: all French, divvied across barrel formats of different sizes and ages. The result: full-bodied and plush, sure; but beautifully fresh and boasting a stream of boysenberry, lilac, anise, Asian spice and satsuma plum scents, curtailed by oak tannins, nicely applied. – Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion, 94 Points, August 2020 The Finer Details Style – Red Wine Varietal – Shiraz Country – Australia Region – Barossa Valley, South Australia Vintage – 2018 Bottle Size – 750ml ABV – 14.5%
