It was acquired in 1994 by winemaker Chris Ringland who gradually restored the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe soils are shallow and skeletal, with granitic sandy loams over underlying clay and moisture-holding podzols. The dry-grown low-yielding vines, on their own roots, are pruned hard and expected to adapt to the growing season. As a consequence the postage stamp-sized vineyard, at only 1.5 hectares, is renowned for its unusually thick‑skinned shiraz. Deep in colour, exquisitely concentrated and laden with tannins, the fruit character exemplifies the enduring quality of pre-phylloxera vine stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade with fruit coming from 3.5 acres of 100-year-old vines, the deep garnet-purple colored 2005 Shiraz is a 17.6% alcohol wine that spends more than 40 months in oak. The nose flaunts beautiful notes of black fruit preserves, sandalwood, mocha and dark chocolate allied with licorice, earth, toast and a subtle nuttiness. Very big, rich and concentrated, the full-bodied palate is framed by medium to firm, very fine tannins and a vibrant line of acid that gives nice lift at the end. This gorgeous wine shows a very, very long finish. Only 1,650 bottles and 50 magnums were produced. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vic Liquors Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060436058347,"sku":"SK88177061","price":1289.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/1022\/0779\/files\/2005ChrisRinglandDryGrownBarossaRangesShiraz750ml.jpg?v=1763083338","url":"https:\/\/lionscellar.com.au\/products\/2005-chris-ringland-dry-grown-barossa-ranges-shiraz-750ml","provider":"Lion's Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
