This exceptional Shiraz is sourced from the revered Old Paddock (planted in 1921) and Old Hill (planted in 1880) vineyards, making it a true piece of history in a bottle.
The wine's deep roots in these historic vineyards show through in its bold, rich character. Each sip reveals layers of red and dark fruits, licorice, and a hint of spice, complemented by a lovely, savoury palate rich in dark fruit flavours, balanced tannins, and natural acidity.
Designed for both immediate enjoyment and long-term ageing, the 2023 O.P & O.H Vineyard Shiraz is approachable now but will continue to mature gracefully for over 25 years. Its powerful structure and earthy nuances make it a standout in any collection.
Grab a bottle for your cellar of this Hunter Valley classic as it evolves over the years. You’ll be glad you did.

"Dark fruit, liquorice/aniseed, iodine, but also has spice and gentle earthiness. Medium to full-bodied, plenty of weight, and there’ a lot of rich dark fruit here, some red, ferrous, shows some nutty oak, but the fruit is good with it. Finish is long and firm. Very good"
