The fruit for this wine is sourced from a single dry grown 100-year-old vineyard in the Light Pass subdistrict of the Barossa Valley. The vines are planted in sandy soils near the banks of the North Para River, producing exceptionally low yields of intensely flavoured and firmly structured fuit. Only made in the best years, this is the third release.

"It's all about putting the spotlight on fruit from a dry-grown centenarian vineyard in Light Pass. I love this. It's a commanding wine. It oscillates between deep, dark, spicy fruit to savoury, meaty flavours. It's long and pure, with poised yet determined tannins. I doubt mataro gets any better than this. Respect." 97 pts Gold Jane Faulkner James Halliday Wine Companion
