Merchant's description
This was the last wine completely made in the open, wax-lined concrete fermenters at the Magill winery in Adelaide. Subsequent vintages have been made at Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley. 98% Shiraz and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged for 20 months in new American oak hogsheads. A rare chance to try this historic vintage.
