The Shiraz component was taken from vineyards in the southern end of the Barossa Valley, near Lyndoch, and the Eden Valley, where growing conditions are excellent for allowing the varietal characters to fully develop and produce grapes of intense concentration and flavour. Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced mainly from Barossa vineyards, with a portion coming from the cooler climate of the Coonawarra, which is known for displaying minty, green-leaf characteristics.
