Deep inky red with purple flecks. Bouquet of ripe cherries, plum, chocolate and vanilla spice. Generous full to medium bodied Shiraz showing generous ripe dark berry fruits up front, which will mellow with age; there is an interwoven earthy character, which makes it approachable now. Over all a well balanced Shiraz with an array of fresh lively fruit flavours, hints of milk chocolate and fine toasty oak characters that melt into soft grainy tannins.
The fruit for this wine was picked over 2 weeks from select blocks offering different flavour profiles ensuring a range of fruit characters and blending options. We crush, de-stem and leave on skins in open top fermenters for 7 days. A slow ferment then occurred at cool temperatures, the wine was pumped over to ensure fruit intensity. Once fermentation was completed the wine was pressed into new and old French and American barrels. The wine spent 12 months in oak maturing then under went final barrel selection prior to bottling with minimal filtration.
