The Keyneton Estate has proven it's pedigree over a number of years and recently become a classified wine in the Langtons guide which is considered the pinnacle of Australian wines.
It is a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from the Barossa and Eden Valley's, it is matured for 20 months in new and seasoned french oak, the nose is dense and savoury with tomato leave, plum and raspberry and doesn't give away it's 8 years of age.
The palate is full and slightly reductive initially, there is generous plum and olive with integrated oak and a considerable finish, this wine will certainly go another 10 years and it will be interesting to see where.
