Description

Australia / South Australia / Barossa Valley

Chris Ringland is one of Australia's most renowned winemakers. He is affectionately known by other winemakers as the "King of Shiraz". In 1994, he purchased a small vineyard in the Barossa Valley, located 550 meters above sea level, with some vines over 100 years old. In this Mediterranean climate, he vinifies a distinctive Shiraz that invariably impresses lovers of big, powerful wines. Due to the very limited production and the high quality of the wine, he and his wines immediately became legendary. Robert M. Parker Jr. has often rated Ringland's Shiraz with 100 points and considers Ringland to be one of the world's greatest Syrah producers. Chris Ringland's three great wines are called "Dimchurch", "Hoffmann Vineyard" and "Three Rivers".

Chris Ringland

Chris Ringland is considered a Barossa Valley legend and one of the style-defining figures for highly concentrated Australian Shiraz. From tiny parcels with very old vines – often over 80 years old – and extremely low yields, wines of impressive density and aromatic concentration are produced. The warm climate and sparse Barossa soils deliver deep dark fruit, while careful hand harvesting, long maceration and extended ageing in high-quality barriques build structure and complexity. Ringland’s Shiraz is rich, powerful and layered, with notes of black berries, liquorice, chocolate and intense spice, while still carried by balance and great length. Tiny production volumes and numerous top ratings have made his wines sought-after cult objects for collectors worldwide.
