Orlando Centenary Hill Shiraz 2015

A wine that stands as an icon, a testament to Orlando's legacy in South Australia, and their love of the Barossa.

Dark crimson red with purple hues. Simultaneously delicate yet dense. The bright berry characters derived from whole bunch fermentation balance beautifully with the darker more brooding iodine and peat notes from traditional long duration skin contact. There is great poise on the palate, starting with dark fruit before moving through to more savoury notes, then finishing with well resolved tannins and nuances of new French and American oak. A very complex nose exhibiting sub-regional notes of chocolate and spices on the savoury spectrum, with bursts of plum, dark berry and bright whole bunch fermentation characters.

Sourced entirely from old vine blocks in the Southern Barossa, which are known to impart regional savoury flavours of dark chocolate and spice as well as dark berry and cherry fruits. The vine age produces small, low yielding crops with intensely flavoured berries, which lend dense red colour and ripe sweet tannins to the wine.

14.7% abv. Barossa, Australia.
