This 94-point Eden Valley Shiraz comes from a dry-grown, low-yielding single vineyard planted to old vines. The fruit was hand-picked, fermented with 25% whole bunches and matured for 18 months in medium and large-format French oak.
Deeply coloured and tightly structured, it delivers concentrated blackberry and blueberry fruit layered with lifted violet, fragrant spice and subtle oak. Fine, polished tannins and fresh natural acidity carry everything through a long, composed finish.
With the benefit of bottle age, this is drinking beautifully now—yet still has the structure and concentration to reward further careful cellaring.
The label remains a mystery. The quality certainly doesn’t.

Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
