AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

Each year before bottling the wines of the Old Garden Mourvèdre and Monopole Shiraz Vineyards, Dean selects the best barrel of each these wines and blends them together. Thus BARREL 1853 is an equal blend of Old Garden Mourvèdre and Monopole Shiraz, exclusively from 1853 vine-age providence.

“A barrel selection from the outstanding 2021 Barossan vintage, which turns out to be an equal blend of Old Garden Mourvèdre and Monopole Shiraz, both 1853-planted vines and 20 months in oak. It’s such a beautifully composed wine, a study into ancient vine texture and grace with intuitive winemaking simpatico with such an important resource. Pristine plummy fruits with red fruit top notes. Harmonious and endlessly complex with layers of fine spice, pomegranate, sage, bay leaf, roasting meats, forest floor, mountain herbs, wildflowers, leather, cedar and earth. The meeting of fruit and oak is seamless; everything in its right place. Tannins chalky and fine, sour cherry acidity perfectly poised, the finish super long and savoury pure. It’s a wine to get wrapped up in, and it’s just fantastic. 98 Points.” – Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
