Description / Reviews
"The Rusden Vineyard is nestled on the deep Vine Vale sand in the foothills below the eastern Barossa Ranges. The early pioneers carved this area out of cypress, blue gum and wattle woodland, once know as Bethany Sandscrub. Our old vines are traditionally cared for and hand tended to ensure their longevity and benefit for future generations. A minimalist approach to winemaking results in an honest representation of the variety. This is a New World wine made in an Old World style to produce a fruit driven wine with dimension, character and balance. All violets, cherry compote, some spice & vanilla bean on the nose. Fruit weight and depth, reminiscent of the 2020 vintage. Dark cherry fruit, some mocha, baking spice with firm chewy tannins rounding out the finish. A powerful rendition of Vine Vale Shiraz." - Winemaker Notes
