The Thief? Shiraz/Cabernet '21
The Thief? Shiraz/Cabernet '21
About the Wine:
This is a great representation of Barossa's favourite red blend- The Shiraz-Cab , offering a bold yet fresh experience. With prominent flavours of dark cherry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of mocha and spice, it really delivers.
This medium-bodied red wine is approachable, making it a great choice for enjoying alongside a delicious meal.
About the Producer:
'The Thief' is a wine label by Tash Mooney that pays homage to her Great Great Grandfather, John Mooney, known as 'Walter.' Wrongly accused of cow theft in the late 1800s, he went to his grave with that stigma.
Acquired by winemaker veteran Natasha Mooney in 2016, the vineyard, planted exclusively with Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, marks her venture into vineyard ownership. Passionate about biodynamics, Natasha is gradually transitioning the vineyard to organic and biodynamic practices, with the "Bullock Block" being the first area to fully embrace these principles. Natasha firmly believes that crafting exceptional wines is intrinsically tied to nurturing a sustainably healthy vineyard. The 10-hectare vineyard is thoughtfully sectioned into four distinct blocks, each tailored to its specific terroir and planted with grape varieties best suited to thrive in those conditions.
