About
Shiraz Le Secateur is grown in Barossa Valley – Australia’s most famous region that remains Phylloxera free and home to some of the oldest vines in the world including, our Old Garden planted in 1853 and Old Fence Line Block Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains.
Pre-phylloxera fruit does not need to be grafted, meaning it is planted on its original roots. Strong correlation between grape quality and the age of trunk wood (vine roots). The fruit reflects the original character of the grape with greater intensity.
