Producer's Note
This truly is an iconic wine. Twice named best Shiraz at international wine shows, it has been produced every year since 1997 [with the exception of 2011]. Crafted from low-yielding old vine Shiraz parcels grown along the golden hillsides in Leasingham, vinified separately and aged for 20 months in a selection of new and one year old French oak hogsheads. Bottled without fining or filtration. This was a standout vintage and this truly is an opulent wine!
Tasting Note
Brick red in colour with youthful crimson hues. Elevated notes of ripe plums, dark chocolate, exotic spices and charry oak influences enliven the senses. A balanced and focused palate, the flavours of fresh berries, cherry plums and dark chocolate feature predominantly, beautifully enhanced and complexed by the long lived natural tannins and classy French oak. A wine easily consumed whilst young but with clear rewards to those you choose to cellar for longer.
Enjoy this full bodied red with barbecue dishes, especially spareribs, grilled meats and vegetables, barbecued and braised chicken, hamburgers, braised beef, roast leg of lamb and aged hard cheeses.
