2008 SHIRAZ 92 points Australian Wine Showcase Magazine, 2010   JAMES HALLIDAY 2011 AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION Deep, dense crimson-purple; blackberry, licorice, prune and plum coalesce on the bouquet and medium to full bodied palate; soft tannins and minimal oak impact 92 points ( Highly Recommended)                   Drink: now to 2018 The fruit for this single vineyard Shiraz was harvested on 24th February – the earliest our fruit has ever been ripe. After selling our fruit in 2007 we were keen to produce a top drop again. Crop levels were average and the warm days combined with cooler nights allowed the fruit to ripen perfectly with great flavours. The vines produced a vibrant coloured, rich Shiraz with delicious berry fruit flavours dominant. We matured the resultant wine in a mix of American and French oak for approximately 18 months. The 2008 Shiraz has a spicy, peppery nose with subtle oak and fresh juicy flavours of dark cherry, plums and mulberry. The palate is medium bodied and the integration of fruit, soft tannins & oak shows through to the last mouthful. Bottled under screw cap, the wine is delicious now, especially after decanting, or will also benefit from cellaring for up to six years. Download Tasting Notes
