We are incredibly lucky to have a vineyard that can produce a profile of Shiraz such as this. Facing east and growing in a valley alongside the Wild Duck Creek adjacent to the winery, the Original Vineyard has proved over three decades to be a truly remarkable place. It is protected from harsh winds during the growing season by its surrounding geography. The soils naturally hold what little moisture falls upon them so the vines are able to bask underneath clear Heathcote sunshine in blissful happiness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThe grapes are then picked at full and balanced ripeness, with up to 50% of whole bunches retained in each small ferment. Once dry, the wine is then gently pressed into 100% new Dominique Laurent barrels, with each small parcel from the vineyard kept separate. The parcels are determined usually by the variation in soil throughout the vineyard, with certain areas being picked before others depending on ripeness. The very best barrel is then selected and bottled on its own. Only 300 bottles are filled in exceptional vintages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PAF70","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41373320773695,"sku":"OWC-EA-L3","price":750.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"giaconda-cabernet-sauvignon-beechworth-2002-1500ml-magnum-presentation-case","title":"Giaconda Cabernet Sauvignon Beechworth 2002 1500mL Magnum Presentation Case","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;\"\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside; line-height: 1.6; font-size: 18px; color: #1f2124; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProfessionally Cellared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: inherit;\"\u003eNo GST Applicable, Private Vendor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCork Closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo Ullage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePerfect Label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eActual Bottle Pictured\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-size: inherit;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePresentation Timber Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Totally classic Cabernet.

I will never forget the way the tannins performed in the mouth that day: they gave new meaning to pliability, ductility, support and flow and told me that natural grape tannin is the highest, purest form of structure that there is. We know now that the 2015 season yielded brilliant wines of clarity and classicism in this part of the world, and so, with that preamble, I taste the 2015 Quintet here today, after seven years in bottle. On the nose, there is raspberry seed, bramble, cocoa, cassis, tobacco, bay leaf, a hint of tapenade, cardamom pod and brine. In the mouth, the wine plays out with all of these characteristics. It is supple and pliable and balanced, perhaps its most wonderful feature is the balance. It's a ripping wine, a superstar. If you're the owner of some 2015 Quintets, good for you.
