Blue Pyrenees
Section One on the Blue Pyrenees Estate vineyard has, for many years consistently been behind the "Reserve" shiraz wines from the Estate. It is no surprise that Section One also contains some of the oldest vines on the property, originally planted in the 1970's. Mature vines have the ability to produce consistently high quality grapes despite the variability each season delivers.
