About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Shiraz Cabernet / Cabernet ShirazIndependent wineryClare Valley, AustraliaWine has been flowing in the Clare Valley since 1851 and is an integral part of the culture. It is one of Australia’s most prestigious premium wine regions, most famous for its Riesling and Shiraz. A small area, accounting for less than 1.5% of Australia’s total wine production. With its beautiful, rolling hills, ideal winter rainfall and Mediteranean climate, the Clare Valley carries a unique history and winemaking heritage.
This wine is a deep red colour with a ruby hue. Intense dark fruit aromatics of blackberry and blackcurrant are complimented with richer notes of dark mint chocolate and roasting herbs. The palate is vibrant, with blackberry flavours and a layering of sage and rosemary. Firm, fine tannin frames a long, persistent finish of bright berry fruits and a touch of savoury oak toast. This wine is immensely drinkable now but will improve with cellaring.

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.

Deep, rich red/purple colour, the bouquet smoky, spicy and sooty, thanks to the dominant shiraz and possibly some American oak in the barrel mix. The wine is medium to full-bodied and rounded, with soft texture and lots of fleshy extract, which gives a satisfying mouth-feel. A very good wine, high on drinkability. (65% shiraz, 35% cabernet sauvignon. Peter Barry's favourite 'personal blend')
