WINEMAKER'S NOTE
Bogan means "black sheep," and was winemaker, Reid Boward's nickname in school. A major proportion of the fruit to make this wine, comes from our vineyard at Marananga, approximately 8 kms south west of the winery, planted in 1899. Soils are quite different here, consisting of sandy loam, followed by clay with limestone thinly dispersed. This tends to give the wine more blue fruit characters and lift combined with the intensity of the old vines.

International Wine CellarInky violet. Explosively perfumed bouquet of creme de mure, blueberry, vanilla, rose, clove and cinnamon. Velvety in texture and strikingly sweet, with powerful dark berry and cherry flavors underscored by strong vanillin oak. But this doesn't come off as woody, thanks to immensely concentrated dark berry fruit, which seems to explode on the aftertaste. Wonderfully expressive shiraz with the depth and balance to repay cellaring. But it's hard to resist today.
