A beautiful new vintage of this full bodied beauty from McLaren Vale, packed with Shiraz flavours and boldness on which it was conceived.

Ortus Wines prides themselves in making wines reflecting their story of adventure and passion. Built from a small land allotment in the heart of Barossa Valley over 150 years ago, Ortus Wines today creates exceptional small volume wines from several of the premium wine regions in South Australia, known to many as the heart of the Australian wine industry.

This new 2018 vintage of their Single Vineyard Shiraz from McLaren Vale remains true to the predecessor, with a gorgeously expressed bouquet, showing dark plum, blackberry, vanilla pod and cedar characters.

The aromas lead over to a wonderfully weighted palate that is supple and beautifully rounded. The wine offers terrific fruit intensity and a creamy mouthfeel, finishing persistent and silky.

Drinks beautifully now but will also easily cellar for another 8-10 years.

Pairs well with rich game or beef dishes and will also lift a lamb roast to new heights.

Brand

Ortus

By pure coincidence, the last of the Bittner name (meaning barrel maker) was lost in marriage when – drumroll please – the last (female) Bittner was married in the early 1900s… to none other than a Cooper. Over fifteen years, Julie and Paige have built their own legacy – Ortus. Growing fruit from their own McLaren Vale vineyards, Julie and Paige work side by side through every step in creating Ortus Shiraz – from the vineyard to the bottle, and sharing the wine with you. It may be in their blood, but from no money and no prospects, they have worked hard and lived true to the Bittner family crest’s motto: Nothing without labour. Today, Ortus are in the process of taking another step, by constructing a regional home to become the Ortus base. We can’t wait to host you in a warm and friendly space where we can connect with wine lovers directly – on our own turf!
