This Shiraz wine exhibits a very distinctive feature compared with other Australian wines of the same variety, which are often dense. Limestone Coast Shiraz has great finesse and elegance.

100% White Frontignac from 80 and 100 year old vines; a mere 6.5% alcohol and delicately sweet.

 

Beautiful fruit from old vines is tamed and put into this bottle. Mature Shiraz from the Barossa Valley.

 

"... a great deal of intensity, but the fruit is lively with a degree of restraint."

Gnarly Dudes is named for the gnarly old vines that stand around all lifetime long looking like they are soldiers ready to be led into battle. Year in and year out they throw a crop of beautiful fruit that is tamed and put into this bottle.

This majestic Shiraz comes from the spectacular Malakoff estate, low-yielding (less than 1t/acre), high-concentration vineyard site in Central Victoria. Gone is the over-ripe, in-your-face style of so many Australian Shiraz wines. In its place is a medium bodied wine wrapped in a silky texture that is a revelation of what Australian Shiraz can be when made by one of the great winemakers of Syrah.
