2020 Deeper Well has just been released. As always, it is a vintage select wine made from our most age worth Shiraz parcels after eighteen months ageing in French oak barrels each year. The wine is then only released at five years of age.
This wild fermented single vineyard wine builds complexity from two different types of Shiraz grown on two different geologies in adjoining blocks at Inkwell.
A perfect wine for special occasions and gifts.
Halliday Wine Companion score: 96 points (GOLD)
Review from Halliday Wine Companion: “For all the forays into alt-styles at Inkwell, at the heart lies this shiraz, a wine more traditional of feel. That sounds like a slight. It’s not. Farming organically, regeneratively and sustainably underpins everything here. Finding climate-apt grapes does, too, but so does an anchoring in place, and in its history. This manages to be somewhat sumptuous, while also leaning into savouriness, with dried olive, blackberry pastille, crème de violette, salted licorice, blueberry Danish, leather, sarsaparilla and a rocky, ferrous minerality. Intensity is a given, but the flow of fine, natural tannin and acidity keep everything neatly in sync. It's very good.” Marcus Ellis (Published 26 May 2025)
