Winery Tasting Notes

The 2015 vintage has emerged as an outstanding year for Shiraz from the Northern Barossa. We believe this will continue to develop, and reward with at least 10 years in the cellar.

Winery Profile

Chris Ringland - Shiraz

At a little over seven acres and at 1,500 ft above sea level, Chris Ringland has restored the Shiraz vineyard, which was planted in 1910. It took him 10 years of pruning and re-trellising to get the ancient vines back into sustainable shape.

Because he has never had Phylloxera in South Australia, thanks to a 120 year quarantine by the wine industry funded Phylloxera board, the vines survive on their own roots. This enables them to attain a great age, while still remaining productive. As the most senior vines begin to decline, they are rejuvenated with younger growth material through the ancient technique of layering. Thus, the original root systems are maintained.

To sustainably manage the vines, less is better. Chris doesn’t disturb the soil with tillage. He prunes the vines hard and feeds them gently during the growing season with a spray of natural nutrients. As soon as the grapes begin to colour, the entire vineyard is covered with bird net, to prevent damage to the fruit and to enable it to achieve full ripeness in pristine condition.

Typically the wine is deep in colour, with dark berry, paneforte, expresso and roasted chestnut aromas. The palate is plush and concentrated with blackberry, mocha, paneforte, spicy flavours and dense, fine chocolaty tannins. Despite the opulence, flamboyance, richness and concentration, the wine has superb percussion and freshness.
