Barossa Valley Heritage Blend: Shiraz Cabernet Old Vine Wine
Experience the authentic taste of classic 1970s-80s Australian winemaking with this handcrafted Shiraz Cabernet blend from Rusden’s Vine Vale estate. Sourced from low-yielding, hand-tended old vines in Barossa Valley, this wine captures the soul of traditional craftsmanship through open fermentation and basket pressing techniques.
Why Wine Lovers Choose This Blend:
– Time-Honored Craftsmanship: Aged in seasoned oak casks using the same methods as legendary Barossa winemakers
– Complex Flavor Profile: Aromatic bouquet of dried roses, wild herbs, and dark berries (blackberry/plum/currant)
– Perfect Balance: Vibrant Cabernet herbal notes complement Shiraz’s juicy fruit character with velvety tannins
– 14% Alcohol Content: Robust yet approachable structure for immediate enjoyment or cellar aging
Tasting Journey: The first sip reveals a lively dance of currants and plums, followed by subtle herbal undertones from the Cabernet component. The exceptionally smooth finish – with just the right tannic grip – makes this bottle dangerously easy to drink while maintaining impressive depth.
Ideal for collectors seeking rare old-vine expressions or enthusiasts wanting to experience Barossa’s golden era winemaking traditions. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or enjoyed solo as a contemplative sipping wine.
Produced in limited quantities from Rusden’s family-owned vineyards – a true taste of Australian wine heritage.
