Tasting Notes:

Deep purple to black colour. Intense and vibrant aroma of dark fruit and spice, beautifully varietal with ripe plum and blackberry with well integrated oak and chocolate hints coming through. The palate is fruit driven with dark fruit being the overwhelming hero here while oak and smooth tannins all working in unison. The complexity is derived from some spicy character whilst the finish is backed by a great acid back bone and the tannin structure will ensure the wine continues to drink well over the medium term.

Technical:

Sourced from premium vineyards across Victoria. The fruit was crushed then underwent cold macerating. Fermented in open top fermenters with regular pump over’s to extract both colour and tannin. Following another week of maceration the dry free run is drained to tank. The skins are then pressed and the pressings transferred to the same tank, the wine is then racked with select parcels going into barrel. The wine is aged in older oak hogsheads then bottled after 12 months maturation with minimal fining and filtration.

Reviews:

The Derek Victorian Shiraz 2016 Dozen is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 159.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Allios from Gave a bottle to a friend - His response - "Would you please order me four cases?" This wine is just so easy to drink. Friends I share this with will ask where it came from. A several have asked me to order them a case or cases. Great value at $80 case with free delivery.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cozie from Oustanding Wine for the price Brought this wine around 4 weeks ago and must say this vintage is every bit as good as previous years. For the price it is hard to find a wine better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chaz from Fabulous wine! The Derek is an overall fabulous wine. We have progressed from drinking Paringa to Amakira and been drinking The Derek for approximately 2 years and thoroughly enjoying it. We even take some with when we go away.
