Our 2018 vintage Red Art Shiraz is one of our best vintages so far. It is a full bodied wine exploding with complexity. Delicious flavours of black fruits, liquorice, blackberry pie, espresso martini, dark chocolate, charcuterie, earthy spice and black pepper are augmented by smooth silky full tannins.    We have 3 separate blocks of shiraz on our little single vineyard, and each plot provides different characters and tannin profiles.  Together they create a wine with great depth and layers of flavours. Picked when the fruit just achieves full ripeness, the tannin is well developed while the fruit remains fresh.  Maturation in seasoned French oak allows the single vineyard characters to shine through without strong oak influence.  This wine is stunning to drink now but will continue to cellar well for many years to come.

Decanter May 2023 96 points From a family-run micro-winery founded by sixth-generation Barossan vigneron Sam Kurtz and his wife Bernadette Kaeding, who also designs all the labels for their range. The Shiraz vines on their 5ha Ebenezer site were 20 years old in this moderately warm vintage; the fruit (some left as whole bunches) was handpicked and fermented with wild yeasts in open-top vats, basket pressed, then aged 15 months in seasoned French oak.  Decanter judges comments: Justin Knock MW "Intriguing aromatic complexity, savoury, elusive, peppercorn and cured meats, turmeric and sage. Silky and charming, beguiling." Tina Gellie "Gorgeous youthful purity on the nose, pretty and lifted, full of florals, berries and exotic smoky spices. Compelling, a lightly dancing and breezy Shiraz with good structure." Roger Jones "Clean and focused with a smoky element, blackcurrants, spice, restrained. A classy wine full of promise, ripe fruit still at the fore but a lovely complexity, too."

OLD VINE GRENACHE Our old dry grown Grenache bush vines were planted in 1886. They deliver intensely flavoured fruit. We blended it with Shiraz (20%) to create a rich full bodied wine. The gnarly Grenache vines grow fruit packed with flavour and earthy savouriness. It has Turkish delight and tart cherry characters with warmth and sweetness, and savoury dusty tannins. This wine is now showing some beautiful aged characters together with a great retention of fresh fruit. Single Vineyard, own vineyard. Vines planted 1886.
