Description
This is a blend of mostly Shiraz with a good chunk of Mataro, grown across three blocks on the Adelina estate. About half the fruit comes off vines planted in 1915 - the rest from younger plantings - all farmed organically.
Each block was fermented on its own, with varying time on skins depending on the parcel. After pressing, the wine went into large-format oak for ten months, with just a bit of new wood in the mix.
It’s a firm, savoury wine with depth from the old vine fruit and freshness from the younger sites. There’s shape, dark fruit, and plenty of drive, but nothing feels heavy or forced. It’s balanced, well-made, and true to the place it comes from.
Always one of the most dependable reds in the Adelina lineup and still excellent value for what’s in the bottle.

"Dark-fruited and savory... showing blueberry compote, graphite and dark cherries. Finely constructed. Drink or hold. Screw cap."

"A charming wine, tightened gently with fine, dusty tannin, but ostensibly built around a notion of ease of drinking and prettiness."
- Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)

"This is very good... The Mataro adds a bit of X-Factor, and there’s a bit more substance and oomph to this wine over the straight Shiraz. Excellent."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

A delicious wine made by a consistently excellent producer. Have bought and consumed many of DD’s super tasty drops recently, but this wine has been an absolute standout in terms of quality and drinkability.
