Shiraz

SHIRAZ 2008

The 2008 shiraz is more elegant and delicate than the last couple of vintages.
The grapes for this Shiraz are all estate grown, careful vineyard management and controlled yields ensure the very best fruit.

This elegant Shiraz has a lovely dark purple hue with sweet spice, cherry and a hint of shaved chocolate on the nose. The palate displays falvours of blackcurrant, cherry and coffee essence, finishing with fine, grain tannins.  

After fermentation in small batch open top fermenters, the wine spent 13 months in carefully selected new French oak barrels to enhance the pallet structure without masking the varietal fruit flavours.

Drink now or if you can age it anytime up to 8 years... I know it will be fantastic then!

This is the wine that Derek (the winemaker) drinks heaps of, he loves making it and he loves drinking it. What else can I say .....and when he realises there's only a bit left.......!

We've been tasting the 2004 Shiraz in the Cellar Door over the last couple of weekends, 2004 was also a lighter year and that wine is looking great. It is nice to try the two more delicate years together, mind you who doesn't love a vetical tasting!

The 2006 Shiraz

This is a fabulous wine, its drinking really well right now, today.

However I'd advocate keeping it for another 5 years or so...the problem is its really nice...!

The 2003 Shiraz

I opened one of my personal bottles of this recently, its drinking perfectly now. So if you've got some of our 2003 squirrelled away, do dig it out and start to think about when you'll drink it.

The 2003 is very much a food wine, the nose shows spicy chocolate, aniseed and licourice, its got a really rich, concentrated palate with great blackberry flavours.
