Purple with red hues. Perfumed noes of rose petals, crunchy red berry fruit, with a hint of spice. Vibrant red berry fruits burst onto the palate with floral notes. A fine vibrant finish with some spice notes. Great with pasta and prosciutto, Persian feta and basil.
The wine is gently handled throughout the winemaking process to ensure that the natural fruit and vineyards characters dominate. Matured in 2nd and 3rd use French oak casks. A small parcel of Barbera is added which increases the perfume and adds a vibrancy to the palate. 2014 was a dry and low yielding vintage which produced intensely flavoured Shiraz with ice textures and flavours.
