‘The Barossa Valley’ Shiraz
‘The Barossa Valley’ Shiraz
The 2023 'The Barossa Valley' Shiraz is from a number of small blocks in central and western ridge of Barossa Valley. The fruit was machine picked with a Selective harvester and crushed into small open fermenters and remained on skins for 10 days. The wine was then matured in new (20%) and seasoned French oak barriques and hogsheads for 12 months
Blackberries and plum skin aromas, fragrantly supported by baking spices, star anise, black olive, and dark chocolate. A medium bodied plush wine, but still fresh and distinctive with the power and concentration of refined primary fruits. A core of blackberry and plum, with fantastic lively & textural tannins, supporting the fruit, right through to the finish. Well suited to a rare roasted saddle of venison, or try with a premium cut of rare dry aged beef. Also compliments a good vintage cheddar.
Intense, smoky nose with redcurrant and sweet spice character. The palate has beautiful ripe fruit, hints of mint and plenty of character.
