Score: DCT98
A modern benchmark of restraint and focused poise, Polygon No 1 Shiraz continues to show fascinating nuances with each vintage. There’s an interesting suppleness in the old-vine Shiraz coming from a mica schist bedrock in Polygon No1 within Alkina’s Greenock vineyard. Its complex palate weave shows myriad aspects that promote both crisp freshness and rounded savoury notes. Its key feature of fine white pepper sprinkled over dry, dark red fruit is augmented by fine-grained tannins that guide rather than force the journey.

“ALKINA” is an Indigenous Australian girl’s name meaning “Moon” or “Moonlight”. This name embodies the respect for the land and the many forces of nature that the estate works with to bring life, energy and authenticity to their wines. Ancient stones and soils, organic and biodynamic viticulture, small scale winemaking and the creation of unique micro-terroir wines, grown and made on the estate in the Western Barossa ranges of the Barossa Valley. The wines are certified organic and biodynamic. They focus on the heritage varieties that have found their natural home in the region, from vines dating back to the 1950’s. Alkina only uses indigenous yeast for ferments, and high levels of whole bunches are used in ferments, which helps to express character, as well as build complexity and savoury interest. The Polygons are the pinnacle of the range, that represent different micro ‘Grand Cru’ terroirs within their vineyards. These are available in extremely limited quantities. |
