Fifteen Shiraz NV

$350 Per Bottle

750ml

SPECIAL RELEASE

A single vineyard expression of Shiraz from a vineyard that turned 100 years old in 2015, located on the western ridge of the famous Barossa Valley. Originally planted by the Helbig family in 1915, the vineyard became a very sought after parcel for the Barossa’s leading winemakers. Luckily for the Ashmead family, we were able to acquire this vineyard in late 2010, forever ending the race to get this amazing fruit.

Only 2544 bottles produced, with each bottle individually number and signed by Cameron and Allister Ashmead.

Also available in a boxed 3-pack.

Winemakers Comments

The wine, hailing from the 2016 vintage, is a supreme example of rich and luscious Barossa Shiraz. It was hand picked, fermented in 2 large barrels (around 1500 litres each) and left on skins in these closed vessels for about six weeks. The wine was then pressed and spent a couple of winters in some of our favourite French oak.
