Poonawatta Estate The 1880 Shiraz 2006
- Region Eden Valley, SA
- Type Red
- Size 750ml
- Alcohol 14.6%
Rarely is it possible to actually walk through a vineyard and see vines that have been quietly producing their wonderful fruit for more than 128 years. This is one such treat, with beautiful old vines that have twisted themselves as they expand over time. Even in these times of drought, the canopy is full and lush, reflecting the extent that their root zones spread deep below the ground and the power that these old masters still hold over the brutal Australian climate. -SG

James Halliday
says:Dark, complex and multi layered; plenty of good oak in evidence, but very fine, yet powerful fruit will engulf it easily with time; rich and savoury on the finish; lively fresh and surprisingly supple given its weight and power.
