A frost event occurred on 11 October, followed by an extreme hail event on 28 October, and the cold and wet weather mid-November coincided with flowering, and impacted fruit-set and potential yields. December and January provided a burst of summer heat, however at the beginning of vintage another severe weather event dealt a deluge of rain and even more hail to some parts of the region.

The Moorooroo vineyard, planted in \u003cstrong data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"489\"\u003e1847\u003c\/strong\u003e by the legendary Joseph Gilbert, sits between the North Para and Jacob’s Creek rivers and is one of the Barossa’s oldest continuously producing blocks.

A rush of dark fruit saturates the palate, carried by fine yet authoritative tannins that provide structure without heaviness. The wine’s texture is plush and seamless, with flavours of black fruit, cocoa, anise, dried herbs and roasted spice building in complexity. A fresh line of acidity — characteristic of the excellent 2021 season — lifts the richness and drives a long, harmonious finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1979\" data-end=\"2169\"\u003eThis is a magnificent release that marries Moorooroo’s trademark power with an elegance and precision rarely seen from such ancient vines.
