This 2013 single vineyard Shiraz from the legendary Charles Melton is sweetly perfumed with just a hint of whole bunch character. Great density in the bouquet. Not wildly fruity, just intensely perfumed rounded sweet, almost Burgundian palate. Rich and round right to the edges. Spicy complexity in the mouth feel and firm tannins to finish. Enough complexity and weight to see out a decade or two at least.
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.
