This wine is just so good it has a page dedicated especially to it. Shiraz is widely grown in the historic Swan Valley, and the vine itself is thought to
have been brought to Western Australia in the late 1830s. The provenance of these vines is considered to be the Rhone Valley in France, or
perhaps from the Cape region of South Africa.
perhaps from the Cape region of South Africa.
The Swan Valley is one of Australia’s oldest wine regions with the first vintage of wine being produced in 1833, and the first commercial
vintage in 1859. Along with the Swan Valley’s old buildings are also some old vines. The oldest suriving vines at Edgecombe Brothers are
the 17 Almeria vines which were planted in 1925. The first Shiraz vines at Edgecombes were planted in the 1950s, and these are located
adjacent to the cellar door in Henley Brook. Production from these 50+ year old vines is approximately 1 to 1.5 tonnes per year. Some years
the quality of the fruit from these vines is so good, as was the case in 2004 when a new wine was created from the production of these
vines. The Old Vine Shiraz has been aged in New European oak. The quantity of production is small with only 1020 bottles produced in the
2008 vintage. In other years the fruit from these vines added complexity to our cellar door Shiraz.
Our Family Reserve Old Vine Shiraz is now in limited stock, and a fee is charged for tasting this amazing, rich and full bodied wine.
Displaying beautifully rounded tanins and a silky after palate, this bold fruit driven spicy red is a definite must-have for a special
celebration....or for just divinely savouring with friends late in the evening after a meal. ORDER ONLINE HERE
