LIMITED MUSEUM RELEASE - Named after a set of medieval wooden leg stocks, which stand in the town of Woodstock in Oxfordshire, England, “The Stocks” Shiraz is Woodstock’s flagship wine. This single vineyard Shiraz is made from 31 rows of low yielding vines, planted circa 1900 on a sandy north slope of Woodstock Estate.

“This single (estate) vineyard was planted in 1900, and for good measure, this full-bodied wine represents the best barrels of the vintage. Dense, deep crimson-purple; there is substantial oak showing now, but it’s good quality, and I don’t have the slightest doubt that when the wine approaches maturity in ‘24, all the juicy black fruits, liquorice and chocolate will simply acknowledge that oak is part of a complex wine of the utmost quality.” March 2017
