2009 Shiraz

Colour

Deep red with purple rim

Bouquet

Plum fruits, black cherries with leafy notes and spearmint.

Palate

Beautifully soft, fruit driven wine showing typical shiraz richness with a silky tannins to finish.

Winemaking

The fruit was picked in the cool of the 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. The fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French Oak.

Cellaring

Drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the medium term.
