Very deep crimson in colour. The concentrated aromas are sweet, ripe and spicy with plums, prunes and blackberries complexed by hints of tar , anise, cedar and bacon. The rich , complex palate is dense, exotic and concentrated with black fruits. Beautifully balanced with great texture, excellent depth and length, finishing with soft velvety tannins. Grape variety is 100% shiraz grapes from pre-phylloxera material brought from Europe by early German settlers in the mid 1800s and grown in the Eden Valley wine region. Matured in 100% new French (45%) and American (75%) hogshead for 18 months prior o blending and bottling. Good winter and spring rains continued on to our hottest summer on record. Occasional timely thunderstorms offered a few millimetrs of wonderful refreshing rain. Vintage began two to three weeks early providing only average yields but exceptional reds. |
