About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazMargaret River, AustraliaThe fruit was destemmed to static fermenters , the whole berries partially undergoing some carbonic maceration during fermentation. The wines were pumped over twice daily for the tanks. Part of the wine was fermented to dryness on skins and pressed after 10 days to help keep fruit vibrancy. The wine was matured for 10 months in 15% new French oak.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

This is terrific; the perfumed bouquet shows black/blueberry, violet, cedar and smoked game characters with a hint of dried herb complexity. It's wonderfully concentrated and weighted on the palate, exhibiting excellent depth and rich texture, brilliantly supported by loads of polished tannins. Opulent yet sturdy and structured. At its best: 2023 to 2034.

With 1% cabernet sauvignon. Matured 9 months in French oak (15% new). Really lovely cassis and dark fruits with just a hint of green crunch beneath it all. Vivid, pure, and certainly very good value for money – that hint of green the only quibble.
