Our history with this wine goes back some 25 years. My father started the blend and with his Hungarian ancestry called it Bull’s Blood. I have tinkered with the style over the years and am now comfortable with a blend of 70% shiraz and 30% mataro (Mourvèdre). Veritas owns a magnificent old block of mataro just behind the winery which is probably over 100 years old. All the mataro is sourced off this block and this places a cap on what can be made each vintage. It varies with crop levels to between 500-600 cases. The source of the shiraz is our vineyard called the Western Ridge and this provides about 70% of the total. This shiraz is full bodied and is matured in new and old shaven oak. The mataro is the tricky grape. It is easy to swamp the flavours which are surprisingly delicate so old shaven French oak is used. Each year a few barrels of shiraz do not measure up to the standard of our flagship wines, the Hanisch and Heysen, and they are also added to the final blend.
The cult of the Bulls Blood comes from Rolf Binder Senior’s Hungarian heritage. Egri Bikaver (Bull’s Blood from Eger) is the most popular wine in Hungary, and Rolf Senior aimed to reproduce the wine from his homeland on the other side of the world. The traditional grapes used in Hungary are Kadarka and Merlot, but we use local old vine Shiraz and the pressings (skins and seeds) of the century-old Mataro to emulate this wine. Veritas Winery has been producing Bull’s Blood since 1967. The legend of Bulls Blood originates from the unsuccessful attack on Hungarian troops in Eger by the Turks in 1552. The heavily outnumbered Hungarians saw their fate approaching and decided that, rather than fight a losing battle, they would just drink red wine. This proved to be to their advantage as their red-stained beards and crazed eyes terrified the Turks, who thought they had been drinking Bull’s Blood to give them extra strength. The Turks fled, leaving the Hungarians to turn their drunken solace into drunken revelry.

Wine - red - 2005 - Rolf Binder Hubris Shiraz Mataro - Australien - Region: South Australia - Apellation: South Australia - Syrah - 750 ml.
2005 Rolf Binder Hubris Shiraz Mataro
Tasting Note:
The 2005 Shiraz (65%) _ Mataro (35%) _Hubris_ was aged in French and American oak puncheons 50% new. It delivers aromas of spice box clove damp earth pencil lead black cherry and blueberry. This is followed by a ripe layered structured wine with superb length. It merits 6-8 years of further cellaring and will drink well through 2025. Source: Wine Advocate
