The Tiller Shiraz
The Tiller is our most admired Shiraz harvested from the Estate’s house block in the Clare Valley’s dress circle Armagh district. Holding a special place in vigneron Nick George’s heart, the fruit has been given the royal treatment: hand pruned, hand harvested, vinified expertly and matured sensitively in 50% new French oak to celebrate the cool-climate vitality of fine Clare region Shiraz. Rich plum flavours, natural spice complexities, an energy-infused palate with supportive tannins and great length. Its class shows effortlessly now with the potential to reward 5-10 years cellaring.
