Very drinkable now but could cellar for 10-15 years easily.
Sourced from the famed Greenock area in the north-west of Barossa. Think Kalleske, Greenock Creek, Rolf Binder etc... in terms of wine style.
Diam cork. 14.5% alc.
Perfumed aromas of dark berries, mocha and spice.
Rich, dense and creamy with spicy, cedary French oak. Long finish with waves of flavour. Tannins are powerful but already integrating nicely.

Produced from what are amongst the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Valley, this wine, along with the Chardonnay, has developed an underground following over its existence that is slowly burgeoning to be recognised as standing in equipollence alongside the, historically, more fancied wines from the estate.
Excellent hue and depth; aromas of plum and black cherry.
A finely boned and structured palate, the fruit and tannins in perfect unison right through to the very long finish.
From a 40+ year old vineyard the Wantirna Estate 'Isabella' Chardonnay is sublime. Traditional in the sense of a beautifully judged use of French oak and gentle lees stirring, precise palate. The key word here would be 'harmony'. The Isabella chardonnay trademark is its elegance and rounded middle palate texture.
Peach and nutty cashew aromas mingle with subtle French oak.
The wine is elegant and maintains lovely fine line of acidity.
