INSIGNIS BAROSSA VALLEY
Insignis, Latin for "gem”, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the wines produced under award-winning winemaker Matt O'Leary. The source for these wines is the Green’s Vineyard located in the heart of the iconic Barossa Valley. Sitting east of Tanunda, at the foot of the Barossa ranges, the eclectic mix of soils provides the personality for these wines. Planted to Shiraz and Grenache, the Green’s Vineyard pays homage to the traditions of the Barossa Valley albeit in a modern way.
Insignis Green's Vineyard (single vineyard) Shiraz 2014
This estate Shiraz is made to show the range of characters that can be produced from the different vine plantings across the Green’s Vineyard. A mix of older and younger vines planted over a mix of soil types adds to the complexing characters found in this wine.
The individual batches have been matured in a mix of new and seasoned French oak to add layers of complexity whilst helping to concentrate the flavours. The final blend is a modern take on traditional Barossa Valley Shiraz, this wine is intended to show all the dark berry and chocolate characters that are the hallmark of Barossa Shiraz but in a bright, fruit driven way supported with spice and some subtle oak derived tannins.
