Centenarian Vines

The 2017 House of Lindner Lineage Shiraz has an average vine age of 103 years, which are Centenarian Vines in the Barossa Old Vine Charter.

"These ancient vines serve as a witness to Barossa's resilience in the face of adversity. Barossa, unlike many other of the world's great wine regions, is phylloxera-free, which allowed these vines to mature into their naturally-sculptured forms with thick, gnarly trunks. They have meagre yields and can produce wines with high intensity of flavour.

Planted generations ago, when dry-farming techniques required careful site selection, Centenarian Vines have truly withstood the test of time, and have a value that transcends their intrinsic worth."

There is only one requirement for the fruit to qualify for this wine. It must be of exceptional quality and will only make the grade if the grapes meet the strict criteria for the resultant wine to carry the Lindner family name.
