2018 AT Shiraz

Alcohol     –     14.5%

Colour     –     Bright mid red scarlet

Bouquet     –     Rich and intense flavours of blackberry, cassis with hints of black pepper and chocolate/ liquorice. Fruit flavours balanced by Long finish and fine tannins that will further integrate with age.

Palate     –     Peppery spice with red cherry and blueberry dominate with silky tannins that persist.

Vintage     –     A typical Grampians growing season.  Warm summer and ideal ripening conditions.  This wine is harvested from a select part of the MR shiraz block to showcase the best of the block.

Winemaking     –    FFermented in open fermenter, hand plunged and pressed as soon as the fermentation was dry, then aged in French barrels.   With only 35 cases made each year this is a rare find.

Cellaring

This wine is drinking well now and should age for ten years or more.
