Product Description
As the King of all Gods, Amon-Ra is considered the most powerful figure in Egyptian mythology.
The temple of Amon-Ra is recorded as the birthplace of commercial winemaking, having the first ever large scale vineyard grown specifically to make wine for the citizens of the temple.
For the 2001 and 2002 vintages there were distinct McLaren Vale AND Barossa Valley bottlings, but from 2003 onward there has only been a Barossa Valley bottling.
A truly wine experience.
The Wine Advocate: Amon Ra 2007 Rating: 96-99 points
Dr Jay Miller, The Wine Advocate USA. Issue 181 Feb 2009
The 2007 Amon-Ra Shiraz was sourced from vines ranging in age from 50 to 110 years with yeilds of only 0.5 tons per acre. It spent 15 months in 100% new oak, predominantly French. A glass-coating, opaque purple in colour, it reveals a brooding nose of wood smoke, mineral, scorched earth, asian spices, blueberry and chocolate. Super-rich, dense yet suprisingly light on its feet.
This extraordinary effort will evolve for a decade and offer a drinking window stretching from 2015 to 2035.
