This is a combination of Ebenezer fruit (Hoffmann) and Kalimna (Asbroek) and the only blended wine in the 2022 suite of releases. "Theel's Handfibel is an 1800s school chart I found digging through the Barossa Archives," says winemaker Callum Powell, "which is now the typeface used to communicate place names on the labels." The 2022 Theel’s Handfibel Shiraz is black, black, black in all ways—black ants, tea, graphite, crushed rocks, sand, blackberry, mulberry, pepper, petrichor and star anise. Gritty tannins shape the fruit in the mouth, yet for all the heavy-handed descriptors that the wine invokes, it remains light and pure in the mouth. It is kind of startling, really. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under natural cork and wax. 2,384 bottles filled.
