2011 Shiraz
Colour
Bright deep red with a purple rim.
Bouquet
Complex aromas of plum fruits, black cherries, leafy notes and spearmint, complemented by traces of well integrated oak.
Palate
Beautifully soft fruit driven wine showing typical Shiraz richness reined in by the soft tannin finish.
Winemaking
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.
Cellaring
Great to drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the medium term.
