Located at the southern end of the Barossa Valley, Lou Miranda Estate is a family-run boutique winery rooted in Italian heritage and hospitality. Founded by Lou Miranda and now led by his daughters Lisa, Angela, and Victoria, the estate carries forward a legacy that began with their grandfather, Francesco “Pop” Miranda, who immigrated to Australia from southern Italy in 1938 with a passion for good wine and family. Today, the Mirandas produce all their wines from 100 acres of estate-owned vineyards spread across four sites within eight kilometres of the winery — including four treasured centenarian vine blocks, the oldest planted in 1897. From vineyard to bottle, their philosophy remains simple: great food and wine are meant to be shared.

The Centenarian Old Vine Shiraz is crafted from the Church Block vineyard, planted in 1907. Dry-grown and hand-tended, the fruit reflects the depth and character of its century-old vines. Maturation in American oak lends further complexity, resulting in a richly structured wine with a layered bouquet, refined tannins, and impressive length. Elegant and age-worthy, it is exceptional enjoyed now or after 10–15 years of careful cellaring.

This plush style is a must with grilled meats & barbecue smothered in smoky, sticky sauces.

96 Points - Sam Kim

Seductive aromas of blackberry, vanillin oak, warm spice and mocha notes on the nose with a nuance potpourri. The richly flavoursome palate offers beautifully layered mouthfeel with plush texture and polished tannins, finishing wonderfully long and velvety. Substantial yet balanced with outstanding harmony and length. At its best: now to 2033.

95 Points - Ken Gargett

Part of the Heritage series from the third generation of this well known winemaking family, we have a superb Barossa Shiraz from vines well over the century in age, from one of the great vintages. Just 2,400 bottles made, the wine was aged in American oak. Deep dark red in colour, this is a full-throttle, bold, ripe Barossa Shiraz which will thrill lovers of the style. There are lashings of vanillin oak at this early stage, but integration is well underway. Big black fruit notes, chocolate, licorice and coffee beans. Mocha and cassis too with soft, satiny tannins. Good intensity, excellent length. There is no subtlety here but no one is looking for it. Some might see it as a love-it-or-hate-it style, but most will surely love it – drink over the next ten to fifteen years.
