Lifted dark berry fruits and satsuma plum with underlying mocha, anise and finely integrated oak spice.
100% Shiraz
Oozing with dark cherry and blackberry fruit the palate is well balanced with licorice and spice, showing hints of black olive and tar. This generous wine has supple tannins and exceptional fruit length.
To best reflect the variation in terroir across our vineyard sites, each Shiraz parcel was harvested, fermented and matured separately. Harvest dates were from the 28th February through to the 22nd of March. After approximately 10 days on skins in open or static fermenters, wines were pressed and filled immediately to the finest oak barrels. Each parcel was matured for 18 months prior to barrel selection and blending. the final blend consisted of 20% new French oak barrels and wine was bottled in November 2015.
