Born 1907

Until recently the earliest documentation we have had on the Lou Miranda Estate Old Vine Shiraz was from around World War I. Thus we have always assumed that the Old Vine Shiraz on the trinity block (the vineyard which is in between the Lutheran Church and the winery) was planted around about 100 years ago.


We were doing some autumn cleaning the other day and found an official document which states that the vines were planted in 1907. So we have just missed the Old Vines 100 year birthday.


Here are some photos I had taken of the Old Vine Shiraz the other day. The vineyard is beautiful in autumn, the vines are still green with a scattering of yellow and brown leaves, the sky is a bright blue and with all the rain we have had recently the roads are lined with little sprigs of grass.
