$550.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

The 2018 vintage of this premium wine is the last time this wine will be made! A great asset to your cellar. A beautiful blend of Cabernet and Shiraz. This elegant wine is original owner Duke Ranson’s tribute to his friend Morrissey who helped him plant the vineyard by hand in 1999.

Appearance: deep dark magenta with black cherry edges, opaque and dense

Aroma: deep dark ripe black cherries, black currants, blackberries, ripe plum, forest floor, cedar bark, dark chocolate, cinnamon and baking spices, fire hearth, molasses, and cherry liqueur

Palate: full rich powerful dark forest berries, plum, black cherry, mulberry cassis, salted licorice, sea salt laced dark chocolate, fine complete tannins, mouthcoating and full, yet delicately poised with an elegant backbone of acid. Integrated, refined oak, with a dark earth, tar, and molasses complexity

97 points, James Halliday Wine Companion
The breathless flavours, structure and texture of this striking blend are, quite simply, superb. Glistening black cherries, satsuma plum and finely wrought tannins are all on parade. Drink by 2043.

About Dukes Vineyard

Duke’s Vineyard is an award-winning, ten-hectare vineyard in the cool-climate Great Southern wine region of Western Australia producing dry Rieslings, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The vineyard is a unique site that sits at the feet of the ancient granite Porongurup peaks and has views of the Stirling Range to the north. It is characterised by warm ripening days and cooler nights tempered with maritime breezes.

Duke and Hilde Ranson established the vineyard in 1999 and proceeded to garner many top wine awards including the Halliday Wine of the Year in 2019 for the 2017 Magpie Hill Reserve Riesling.

In 2022, they retired and handed the business to Winemaker Ben Cane and his partner, Sarah Date. Duke and Ben share the same passion to make beautiful wines from an exceptional terroir; have the same appreciation for cool climate wines; and like to have a lot of fun in the process of making, enjoying, and selling wine.
