Tasting Notes:

Medium to deep red colour with aromas of ripe, dark berries, plums and fruit cake with a swirl of charry oak somewhere in the mix too. The full flavoured palate is rich and ripe with good

Technical:

The 2016 vintage was shaped by a cool winter with average rainfall followed by a dry, warm spring and quite a hot December. Budburst was earlier than normal due to the warmer conditions in September, and consequently harvest was also very early – we commenced vintage on Feb 9th. Thankfully January and February were quite mild with below average maximum and minimum temperatures experienced for both months. Around 30mm of rain received on 29th January went a long way towards shaping the vintage also. It has probably turned a potentially ordinary vintage into something potentially quite special.

The grapes for this wine were machine and hand harvested, transported to the winery, de-stemmed into open fermenters and cold soaked for three days before fermentation began. The wine was pumped over twice daily during ferment for approx 7 days and this was followed by draining, pressing and then maturation in French oak casks for 14 months before racking and blending. The wine was stabilised and lightly filtered prior to bottling.

James Halliday Wine Companion Review;

"Plush plum fruit with a light coating of creamy vanilla and similarly deft touches of spice. Can't argue with either the balance or ease-of-use."

Reviews:

Clare Hills Clare Valley Shiraz 2016 By Neil Pike is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 8.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jking2 from Already Mellow This smooth well- balanced drop is already quite mellow yet no doubt still has years of improvement. Alas I fear it won't get the chance in my cellar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mr Roberto from Value for money I have purchased this wine previosly, mainly because of the reputation of the winemaker. I have never been disappointed with its quality. I hope to lay down a few bottles to allow it it mature further. It is an excellent everyday drinking wine, extremely good value for the price. I will continue to buy this wine when it is available.
