Dense inky black heart with a deep dark red black hue. A mixture of ripe blackberry, liquorice and dark plum scents jump out of the glass with some earthy vanillin oak and spice notes also present. Rich blackberry and liquorice fruits carry plenty of weight across the opulent palate. Dark plum, spicy vanillin oak and earthy dark chocolate elements chime in on the back half. Velvety tannins with a long plush aftertaste. Excellent value.
COLOUR
Garnet red with purple edges.
NOSE
Aromas of dark berries with a hint of vanilla and pepper spice.
PALATE
Full bodied flavours of ripe plum are followed by soft tannins. Nuances of milk chocolate show on the finish which is long and recalls a vanillin sweetness.
WINE MAKING
The Shiraz grapes were harvested and given a cold soak prior to 14 days fermentation. The wine was then pressed off and racked to a mixture of new and old American oak hogsheads. This vintage was warm to mild, resulting in a long ripening period.
FOOD PAIRING
A glass with dinner makes for a great evening. Sip by the open fire or when watching your favourite movie
