The three ‘dark horses’ are Matt Broomhead, his father and his grandfather Frank, who all decided on a handshake to go into the wine growing caper together around 8 years ago. This deeply inky shiraz is sourced from 70 year old bush vines grown in their Romano vineyard. Wild-fermented with 20% whole clusters and matured in 50% new French oak for 22 months – expect sweetly smoky, berry saturation and gum-numblingly gorgeous, chewy tannins on the finish. Eyepoppingly good with osso bucco.
