  2016 `Voices of Angels` Shiraz, Charles Melton

  £6200

  This wine is sourced from the Mount Pleasant vineyard which sits on the boundary of Eden Valley and the Adelaide Hills. Technically, this wine is from the Adelaide Hills, but spiritually the fruit is Eden Valley.

  In the glass, it has an almost polished, deep crimson colour with the typical cool site brightness. Quite evident high-quality French oak showing at the moment, but this youthful stage will pass, with the fruit increasing in volume and complexity over the next few years. The wine spent a full 29 months ageing on lees to develop a real roundness and tongue coating glycerol sweetness. The density of structure rather than the sheer size is a commanding feature of this vintage and this wine illustrates that perfectly.

  2017`Grains of Paradise` Shiraz, Charles Melton

  £6300

  A wonderful expression of the traditional Barossa style. Grains of Paradise has dark, sweet aromas of chocolate, vanilla, spicy fruit cake and mocha. These lead to a rich and dense palate with weighty tannin and a smooth finish.

  Shiraz grapes for the ‘Grains of Paradise’ come from the finest vineyard sites in the Barossa. For the 2017 vintage, much of the fruit was sourced from Charlie’s Nitschke vineyard in Krondorf. Relatively youthful at 20 years old, this vineyard produces some quality Shiraz. Most of the vineyard sits on loam and red clay; the vines are dry grown and spur pruned.
