Lavish nose showing profound notes of blood plum, mulberries and underlying tones of black pepper, earth and elegant oak. Voluptuous, opulent and yet refined are the trademarks of Silence is Golden. This year the vintage produced perfect fruit with a great level of intensity. Highly concentrated featuring alluring flavours of blackcurrant, plum, dark cherry, cassis with velvety smooth tannins and the slightest touch of acidity. Wonderfully integrated oak ensuring great intensity, length and cellaring potential.
The Shiraz grapes were selected based on flavour profile to ensure consistency of style. The grapes were handpicked and delivered to the winery and gently worked through the de-stemmer before being transferred to an open fermenter with 20% whole berries. The juice is pumped over twice a day for seven days before draining and loading the basket press. The skins are then gently pressed for approximately 20 hours to retrieve more of the essence of the grape. After the wine has completed its malolactic ferment, it is matured in 23% new and 77% older American and French oak barrels for 18 months prior to bottling with minimal fining or filtration.
94 Point Rated 5 Stars - Sam Kim Wine orbit
"This is wonderfully expressed on the nose, showing black/blueberry, rich floral, cumin and hazelnut aromas. The palate is equally attractive with excellent weight and richly textured mouthfeel, leading to a lingering plush finish. At its best: now to 2034. $30.00."
95 Point Rated - Australian Wine Showcase Magazine
"Delicious wine with lovely ripened black jubey aromas. Nicely balanced savoury palate with exceptional blue fruit depth, texture and tannin weight."
Huon Hooke - The Real Review
"Quite deep, bright red-purple hue with a herbal/vegetal bouquet, perhaps from a whole-bunch ferment component. Raspberry aromas too. The wine is medium bodied and soft on the tongue, with gentle tannins and a medium-length finish."
