Old-vine Barossa Shiraz from one of the most unusual addresses in Australian wine. Cirillo Estate sits on deep sand in Vine Vale, in the family's hands since Vincent Cirillo bought the vineyard in 1970; his son Marco now runs every part of the operation, from pruning to bottling. The estate is most famous for its 1848-planted Grenache and Semillon — among the oldest commercially productive vines on the planet — and the Single Vineyard Shiraz comes from old-vine parcels worked by the same patient, basket-pruned, low-yielding hand. The 2024 is built in Marco's house style: native-yeast fermented, no oak gymnastics, fruit allowed to do the talking. The result is a Shiraz with old-vine concentration but no jammy excess — structured, savory, and unmistakably Vine Vale.

"The 2024 Shiraz Single Vineyard is a beautifully honest and seamless expression with blackberry, mulberry and a gentle touch of wood smoke. This is dry and medium-bodied, with a nice touch of oak in a fleshy package, while long, drying tannins define the finish. The 2024 is approachable but has plenty of staying power." —Angus Hughson

More about Cirillo Estate Wines

Cirillo is the custodian of what are thought to be the oldest producing Grenache and Semillon vines in the world, planted in 1848 in the Barossa Valley and still bearing fruit.

The vineyard sits at Light Pass, on the deep golden sands typical of the Vine Vale area. Vincent Cirillo, from a family with long winemaking roots in Calabria, bought the abandoned site in 1970. When the 1980s vine-pull scheme paid growers to rip out old Barossa vines, he refused, and instead pruned the ancient, gnarled vines into a distinctive basket shape that he credited with keeping them productive. His son Marco now runs the estate, and in the past fifty years only the two of them have ever pruned the 1848 Grenache.

The 1850 Ancestor Vine Grenache and Ancestor Vine Semillon come from those historic vines and are the estate's rarities. The Vincent Grenache and the Single Vineyard Shiraz are the more approachable side of the range. Expect Grenache that is perfumed and savory rather than jammy, and a dry, textural Semillon that ages beautifully.
