Steeple 呢塊田由1919年已經由酒莊家族擁有, 一直種植Shiraz, 為酒莊中最老的葡萄田。
而所用的桶特別值得一提,
35%新法國桶 & 65%舊法國桶, 特別在於用的桶來自Tonnellerie Sylvain Collection barrel series, 一個專做高級桶的系列
桶的木來自超過300年的老樹, 每年全球只做最多60個桶, 而Yalumba就買到其中4個。

Huon Hooke - 96 Points

"Deep, bright red/purple colour. The bouquet is smoky, toasty and shows char-oak and coal dust over deep-set black fruit aromas.
These are echoed precisely on the palate, which is full-bodied and dense, fleshy and powerful, with excellent flavour and depth, before a lingering aftertaste.
A smashing shiraz which will richly reward the patient"
