The Colonial Estate Richard Lander Old Vine Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023

Sourced from vines up to 104 years old in the Moppa and Greenock sub-regions, the 2023 Richard Lander Shiraz is a powerhouse of concentration. Matured in French oak, this full-bodied wine offers a dense nose of forest fruits and cracked pepper, leading to a palate rich with dark chocolate, dried fig, and savory leather. Described by James Halliday as "massively built," it balances firm tannins with a long, voluptuous finish. A quintessential old-vine Barossa Shiraz with a 95-point pedigree.

Pairs best with: Slow-roasted lamb shoulder, braised beef cheeks, or aged cheddar.
