Deep cherry red with purple hue. Intense spice and liquorice, good strong plum and mulberry fruits, well balanced nose with a hint of perfumed violets and chocolate. The palate has generous upfront fruit, with distinct plums and dark cherry flavours. Balanced acid and well intergrated oak provide savoury characters and lively, firm yet velvety tannins, which along witha persistant finish, make this a very enjoyable wine. The shiraz was harvested at optimal maturity and the grapes were de-stemmed and crushed inti small open fermenters. The ferment was hand plunged twice daily fir the duartion of the teo week fermentation. The free run and pressings were put together and drained to barrels and held in oak for 18 months. Minimal filtration was used prior to bottling therefore a crust may form after several years of cellaring. |
