Golden-green tinges sparkle in the attractive fresh colour.
Aroma
Appealing aromas of citrus, grapefruit and green apple immediately provide a feeling of contentment yet excitement for this wine. Delving deeper, one finds layers peach stone characters and tropical mixed fruits.
Palate
This flows through to the palate which shows a generous lift of white peach and grapefruit, entwined with subtle cashew flavours. Milky soft in texture, the wine is elegant with a very long and lingering finish, highlighted by a crisp acid backbone.

Winery Profile
Cape Barren, named after the rare Cape Barren Geese that are regular visitors to the vineyard, is the passion of owners Brian Ledgard & Peter Matthews.
The unique McLaren Vale maritime climate offers long warm summers cooled by afternoon ocean breezes, thus providing the ideal ripening conditions for grapes destined for full-bodied red wine.
All fruit for Cape Barren Old Vine Shiraz is sourced from a single seventy year old vineyard at Blewitt Springs that has previously been used to produce some of South Australia's icon wines.
