Shiraz
Single Variety
Clare Valley
At release the wine is a deep crimson red with a vibrant purple hue.
Fragrant spice, dark cherry, plum, dark chocolate, freshly roasted coffee beans & charry oak characters.
This is a commanding wine with multiple layers of intense, lush dark berry fruit followed by spicy fruitcake & seductive mocha. The palate is full and generous but with precision to the structure and an appealing texture with velvety, mouth-coating tannins mingling harmoniously with fruit & spice. Elegant acids and light, long tannins carry the palate to a persistently rewarding finish.
Growing conditions leading up to vintage 2013 were benign, apart from a frost event in mid-October. It was a dry growing season with few rainfall events. Early December saw 30mm rain which was a season changer. Harvest conditions were excellent starting early February. Our winemakers reported excellent acid balance & flavour development.
Immediately approachable but will cellar well in ideal conditions for up to 20 years from vintage date.
