Shiraz ‘The Cuttings’
Poonawatta Estate Shiraz is produced from what was once part of the largest, privately owned vineyard in South Australia . Only two acres of the original vineyard remain as a living relic of Australia ‘s pioneering winemaking heritage. Established in 1880, Poonawatta Estate Eden Valley Shiraz is one of the last remaining vineyards of its era, and one of the oldest in Australia . The Holt family purchased the property in 1966 and commenced the restoration of the vineyard which had been neglected for many years. Proprietor Andrew Holt has commissioned Reid Bosward of Kaesler to make the wine. The vineyard is on a cool site even for Eden Valley so the more delicate characteristics of cooler climate Shiraz are evident.
