About the wine
A seriously big Barossa red by local experts
- The label says it all - this wine is poetry in a glass. A stunningly intense single vineyard Barossa Shiraz you just can’t get anywhere else. If you’ve tried the Scribe before, this is its big brother.
- 2017 was a great vintage with exceptional grapes coming off the 25-year-old vines. From this fantastic base, Paul and Ralph poured in their considerable experience to deliver you a pristine and powerful reserve wine.
- A swirl in the glass unlocks its red fruits and black cherry, and layers of mocha, vanilla and black pepper. Take a sip to experience intense red fruits, plum, spice and toasty oak. This ripe and flavoursome style has soft, subtle tannins which linger and leave you wanting.
Best before
This will be perfect to drink now, but will continue to develop over the next 6 to 8 years.
Serving advice
If you have the time, it's always best to decant a wine around 20-30 minutes before you wish to drink it. This will allow it to really open up.
Food match
Try this one with a pumpkin and mushroom risotto, with truffle and roasted beetroot. The earthy-sweet flavours in this dish will sing with a shiraz.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Paul Byron & Ralph Dunning
-
Paul and Ralph came on board in 2019, bringing a combined 65 years experience with some of the most admired wineries in the land. They’d made the big leap out on their own a few years before — their exquisite wines catching the attention of top wine critics right away. In 2015 they were awarded a Halliday 5-Star Rating and Top 10 New Wineries listing.
-
But it’s one thing to make award-winning wine and another thing entirely to get it into the hands of people who’ll love it. That’s where Naked swooped in and connected them to wine-loving Angels across the land. “Getting Naked means we don’t have to go through the normal wholesale and retail gatekeepers before we get real feedback on what we are crafting,” explains Ralph.
-
Their partnership is proof there is no substitute for experience - across every touch of their wine. The two are focused on creating wines that are truly authentic to their variety and where they were grown.
