Blue Rock Wines'The Christopher' Shiraz Cabernet 2016
About this product
‘The Christopher’
This wine is a selection of the two finest barrels of Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon in the winery for each vintage. It is dedicated to a young aspiring winemaker who had the potential to become one of the Barossa’s best. A blend of the two varieties that the region is most famous for and the two that Chris enjoyed working with the most.
The wine is full bodied with a long seamless structure and balanced tannins. The rich dark fruit flavours of ripe Plum and Blackcurrants coat the palate. Aged for 24 months in new French oak to add spice and complexity to a wine that will last the ages.
Rest in Peace our beautiful Christopher (1991-2018)

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.
