SKU:2022 | Barossa Valley | Shiraz
97 Points from James Halliday
"A blend of old-vine Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz; matured in used oak to throw all the focus on the fruits and their freshness, coupled with the second great vintage conditions in a row after ’21. Irresistible." JAMES HALLIDAY
"The blend percentages for Avatar might change each vintage, but the recipe doesn’t vary much. Grenache (about 50% in 2022) for spice and bright red fruits, Mataro (40%) for some savoury earthiness and depth and Shiraz (10%) for plump plum and rich black fruit. The time in oak and the choice of old seasoned oak ensures it serves only as a seasoning to add complexity and savoury nuance. With vines this old, we want the fruit and earth to speak with the clearest voice." KYM TEUSNER, WINEMAKER
