Orlando Centenary Hill 2016

Centenary Hill™ Barossa Shiraz is a wine that stands out as an icon, a testament to Orlando’s legacy in South Australia, and the love of the Barossa.

Sourced entirely from old vine blocks in the Southern Barossa, which are known to impart regional savoury flavours of dark chocolate and spice as well as dark berry and cherry fruits. The vine age produces small, low yielding crops with intensely flavoured berries, which lend dense red colour and ripe sweet tannins to the wine.  Four separate parcels went into making the 2015 Orlando Centenary Hill Shiraz. A combination of small open fermenters and some enclosed static fermenters were used to impart different characteristics to the component wines. Two parcels underwent traditional destem and crush procedures prior to ferment, while the other two retained a portion of whole bunches.
