Alta Shiraz 2015
14.0
Out of a sea of aromatic whites and perfumed Pinot Noirs, Shiraz from the Adelaide Hills has quickly forged a powerful reputation over the last 5 years. Finely structured, with intoxicating aromas and elegant structures, Adelaide Hills Shiraz stands proudly distinctive amongst its neighbours from McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley.
"This wine has been 8 years in the making – when only the best fruit will do, you need to be patient! This style of Shiraz has come from my time in France. I have focused on retaining the perfumed aromatics and using extended maceration have created a supple palate with great fruit depth and satisfying persistence."
Winemaker, Sarah Fletcher
