Massena is an interesting brand to look at for those who like Dan Standish wines, but prefer to avoid the prices of the Standish Wine Company, as he is making the wines for this label. Having said this, the 2018 Massena Stonegarden Shiraz is not as cheap as it once was.
Here is another review of a wine from the Stonegarden vineyard in Eden Valley. As you can see, it is high altitude, with quite rocky soil and low yields.
The wine is made using open fermenters, basket pressed, and using new and old French oak barrels. This full-bodied wine delivers flavours of plum, kirsch, mulberry, and mocca. The mouthfeel is quite soft before firm tannins hit the palate. I did not find this wine particularly appealing. It said to me 'I am not getting the love I deserve'.
Score: 93/0
