Vine Age 2 vineyards – planted in 1899 (Marananga) and 1965 (Nuriootpa)
The Barossa Valley is world famous for concentrated styles of Shiraz. Bogan Shiraz is well known to be a quintessential, full bodied style of Shiraz. The two Shiraz vineyards from which this wine is sourced complement each other well – The Marananga block provides intense, old vine produce with particular “blue fruit” offerings. The Nuriootpa block provides more “black fruits."
These two blocks have built this wines strong reputation and style.
The fruit was hand harvested on the 2nd March 2012. The wine was given 9 days on skins, pressed then put to barrel. Matured in 90% French oak (25% new and the remainder 2 & 3 years old) and 10% American oak (2 years old). The wine was racked twice over the next 12 month with regular topping. No filtration.
Dark red, almost black. Black cherry & deep red plums, sandalwood and spice. Concentrated and structured, yet elegant with a signature velvety palate. Fruit driven with supple, smooth tannins. Fantastic length and focus.
Review:
"From 1899 and 1965 estate plantings, matured in French (75%) and American oak for 15 months. An exceptional pedigree reflected in a shiraz of rare elegance, balance and finesse; its supple, medium-bodied palate is almost lip smacking, so juicy is it, but there is no shortage of texture or structure."

Morambro Creek Padthaway Shiraz is made from 100 percent Shiraz.
Deep inky black & purple in colour. The nose is perfumed with violet, blackberry, vanilla and spice with a touch of earth and liquorice over white pepper in the background. Expansive palate, smooth lush ripe back fruits nicely balanced oak, plenty of concentration with a long finish.
Winemaking at Morambro Creek is very traditional and labor intensive.
Oak maturation takes place using 35% new barrels both French and American. This blend was put together using select barrels from our family estate that best demonstrate the intensity of our fruit balanced by integrated oak.
excellent with barbecued pork, beef, venisson as well as grilled vegetables.
