The region was named Barossa by South Australia's Surveyor-General Colonel William Light – he named the valley after Spain’s Barrosa Ridge in Andalusia, where he fought in the Peninsula Wars of 1811. British troops won a victory at The Battle of Barrosa. The name was recorded with an incorrect spelling that survives to this day.
"The fruit here hails from a single vineyard in the central, north-west of the Barossa Valley… from “a wonderful vintage for the region.:" (Ken Gargett, WinePilot). Ken comments on the wine's: "…:good oak integration here, but there are vestiges of it still evident. They combine neatly with an array of aromas, including chocolate, blackberries, smoked meats, cassis and licorice. There is serious intensity and very good length… " and it "… finishes with excellent persistence… 94pts" (Ken Gargett, WinePilot)For Sam Kim, Wine Orbit it is: “Sweetly fruited and immediately appealing… offering succulent fruit intensity backed by finely infused tannins. Opulent and delectably expressed, making it fabulously drinkable. 94pts”
