Tasting note

Innovation meets tradition: a 12-year blend of 10 vintages from 2006 to 2018. Aged complexity meets youthful fruit. Parcels harmonize, eliminating vintage variation, showcasing pure Shiraz from Rojomomas' Ebenezer vineyard. Ready to enjoy now, ages beautifully. Presented in a unique Japanese rice paper label, signed, numbered, and boxed.

In the press

Amplify – as it suggests in the name – concentrates the character of both the Shiraz grape and Rojomoma's Ebenezer vineyard through a blend of 10 vintages of that wine. Library stock over 12 years, from 2006 to 2018 (excluding the tannic 2007, 2009 and 2013 vintages), were decanted, blended and rebottled for the first iteration of this exclusive cuvée. Husband and wife team Sam Kurtz and Bernadette Kaeding showcase the exotic incense-like spice and savoury olive and leather complexity of the mature wines which meld seamlessly on a silky, supple, layered palate alongside youthful, exuberant black berry purity. Delicious now thanks to its ripe, juicy fruit concentration and balanced alcohol, the deft acidity and fine tannin structure will ensure it continues to evolve. Just 186 litres of this inaugural multi-vintage cuvée were made, with only six bottles in large format, all individually signed and numbered – the labels designed and printed by Kaeding, an awarded photographic artist. At a recent Decanter panel tasting of current and classic Barossa Shiraz cuvées, Rojomoma was the top producer, its Red Art Shiraz 2016 – part of this Amplify blend – receiving the joint highest score of 96 points, with the 2004 scoring 95 points.

Viticulture

Hand picked fruit from hand pruned vines located in the hamlet of Ebeneezer in the North of the Barossa Valley.

Vinification

Fermented in open fermenters with naturally occuring wild yeast, then gently basket pressed. Matured in French oak has been the stranard of care for this cuvee of very carefully blended shiraz of 10 vintages from 2006 to 2018.

Food Match

Rich meat dishes such as beef cheek and the best quality melt in your mouth beef steak are the best compliment to this velvety and unique Shiraz Cuvee.
