Conditions

Conditions

The 2023 vintage was the third vintage in a row influenced by La Nina weather patterns. Vineyards had excellent soil moisture and produced healthy crops, which combined with the cooler conditions to produce one of the latest starts to Shiraz harvest in living memory (29 March). Shiraz harvest finally concluded on 4 May. Concilio Shiraz was sourced from two meticulously grown Barossa Valley Shiraz vineyards in Marananga, and Ebenezer, with a small inclusion from Eden Valley for aromatics and acidity. The Barossa Valley components were harvested in late March, with Eden Valley a month later in late April.
