Description

At release, this Shiraz is a dark red colour with ruby red hues. On the nose the wine dispays dark plum, redcurrant and red cherry fruits along with subtle chocolate and a touch of oak derived spice. The palate is plump & generous with ripe fruit characters of plum, cherry and redcurrant. Mocha coffee and subtle aniseed characters are also present along with vanillan oak to balance the fruit flavours. The wine is medium-bodied with a soft mid-palate & pleasing tannin structure. It is a well balanced wine with great texture, good length and enjoyable fruit flavours on the finish. The wine was matured in American oak for 12 months followed by fining, minimal filtration & bottling. Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a medium term under ideal conditions.
