Hailing from a multi-award winning lineage, this is an aromatic fruit bomb of stewed plum and raspberry, all infused with drifts of demi glaze, damp ironstone and spice. It’s fleshy and earthy with teasing licks of tamarillo jam and tobacco leaf and a mouth-feel like cherry chocolate. Soft, ripe, supple tannins and a soothingly warm embrace of white pepper complete the picture. Open a bottle the next time you have steak and kidney pie or braised veal shanks on the menu. It’s also a barbecue favourite.
Aromas of pungent stewed plum, blackberry pastille and crushed boysenberries, with brooding wafts of earthy blood and bone, toasty oak and a f aint hint of star anise.
100% Shiraz
Matured for 18 months on – 45% new French oak, 30% new American oak, 15% I year old French oak and 10% 1 year old American oak.
A smooth, rich palate of damask plum, black cherries and spicy laced blueberries up front draped in sweet charry oak. These primary characters provide fleshy support through the palate where they meld with subtle traces of chocolate, mocha, rosehip, leather and tobacco leaf, all complimented by a savoury touch of meaty complexity. The finish is long and generous with the charry notes continuing through to embrace the abundant ripe, supple tannins and culminate in the soothing warmth of a pinch of black pepper.
Warm fermentation in static fermenters on skins for 10 – 14 days at 22C. Gentle pressing off skins using airbag press. Completed Malolactic fermentation on oak as per below. Bottled to screwcap to retain freshness.
