JM 1ST APPROACH

The name Woodcutters stems from David Powells several years spent working the Scottish Highlands as a lumberjack in the Torbreck forest. This wine reflects the up & coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines which make up the core of our other cuvees. Dense, rich and opulent, this wine combines great fruit purity with texture, complexity and finesse.

Whilst offering immense pleasure in its youth the 2011 Woodcutters Shiraz will no doubt develop along a similar path to the 2004 & 2006 vintages with a few years in the cellar. This is the kind of red I liked to drink with a hearty meal after a hard days work in the wood, but you don't have to be a wood~cutter to enjoy it. David Powell
