A delicious cool climate shiraz from Morning ton Peninsula that we have aged in our cellars and after 8 years in bottle it is maturing nicely.
In the glass, it is still opaque black purple colour with dark purple crimson hue. The aromas have developed since it was bottled and now waft tones of inky blackberry and liquorice with underlying dried meats and toasty vanillin spice also present. Medium weight the palate has a flavour profile of blackberries, dark cherries and dark plum followed by a delicious spice flavour. The finish is long, fresh and vibrant. 5% Viognier was co-fermented with the Shiraz and ageing took place in a combination of new and used French oak barriques for a period of 11 months
