***Rob and Les Shiraz 2020 is elegant, powerful and exceptionally drinkable. This Barossa Shiraz is terrific value.***
This wine is a dedication to all Grandparents and is named after two of ours Robert and Leslie.
Although the 2020 Vintage will be considered one of the great harvests of the last 20 years, the growing conditions were anything but conventional. The conditions resulted in exceptional fruit created in shrewd and almost sagacious weather, where the season seemed dialled in to the specifics of each vineyard.
The 2018 Rob & Les is a fresh, vibrant and fruit driven Shiraz from a ripe harvest. The energy in the wine is a testament to the season, with the purity of the fruit being a hallmark of classic Barossa Vintages.
Cellaring: A great value wine that will age beautifully over the next 5-10 years.

Our job is made easier through access to the amazing old-vines and abundant sunshine that makes the Barossa Valley so famous across the globe. Wines of purity, energy and vitality that speak clearly of the region we call home.
Our wine making is simple and minimalistic, based on old world, hands on techniques. We limit our acid additions as much as possible, rarely use nutrient, never use tannin or any other additions and we never fine or filter our wines.
We use all old oak (apart from 2 barrels a year) and age some of our wine in large oak Fudre (2.4kL). We also use some whole bunch winemaking with Grenache and Mataro and only destem (we don't crush) our Shiraz.
The Grassl' Elemental Versatile glass’s design, with an ample bowl to assist with allowing the wine to open is complimented by a narrowing chimney bringing focus and precision to the nose.
