Description
Shiraz in Margaret River is a hidden gem worth seeking out. It displays the varying growing seasons very clearly, speaks loudly of the place it comes from and the ocean that surrounds it. It affords the winemaking team a plethora of choices in terms of whole berry and bunch inclusion, co-fermentation possibilities with viognier and maceration regimes. It rewards with a depth and savouriness unlike any other region in Australia.Tasting Notes
The intense aromatics explode from the glass, erupting in berry fruits of mulberry, stewed blackberry and blood plum, draped in sweet baking spices of cinnamon stick and nutmeg. There is a mysterious sappy floral note of lifted purple violets, overlaid by shaved graphite and hints of mossy granite which threads surreptitiously across the nose. An intensity of dark fruit framed by muscular structure with a long finish which will unfurl slowly to reveal great varietal detail. The mouth is coated with candied berry fruits, fresh tobacco, cedar smoke and a warm richness of dried fruit cake with rum soaked raisins. The tannins are chewy and grainy driving through to a powerful finish of caramel, molasses and sweet spices of cardamom and cinnamon powderProduct Details
