About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of ShirazMcLaren Vale, AustraliaColour — Purple Black.
Aroma — A beautiful array of complex ripe fruits combined with subtle oak aromas. Aroma’s of boysenberry, mulberry, currants, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Palate — Sweet, generous, rich and spicy. Very soft and rounded with balanced tannin and acidity. A lovely complex integrated wine that will drink well for 15 years.
The berry was from premium vineyards with sandy loam soil profiles that consistently deliver wines of richness and finesse. Picked at perfect flavour maturity, gently crushed, then fermented at low temperatures to harness the fruit flavours. After 10 days fermenting on skins for colour and flavour extraction the wines were then pressed to French oak for ageing. Time in the oak barrel was 18 months.

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.
