2009

This wine displays citrus, strawberry and brioche characters. The palate structure is refined and complex with a refreshing natural acidity. An aperitif style wine with a natural acidity making it an ideal celebration drink.

Ripe boysenberry, raspberry and red berries with well  balanced subtle savoury oak, aniseed and pepper.
Full and textured palate with fine grain tannins and a structure that is approachable. Juicy ripe black fruits dominate with shavings of milk chocolate, pepper and aniseed.

A vibrant pink/red with aromas of fresh raspberries, strawberries, candy and confectionary notes. The palate is delicate and fruit driven with beautifully balanced acid and sweetness. The wine is fresh and vibrant and ideal as an aperitif or with fish, chicken or hearty vegetable dishes.

This shiraz is all ripe dark plum and winter spiced berry fruits up front before fleshing out in the mid palate. The finish carries balancing savoury oak notes of char with surprisingly moderate tannins grounding the wine in the mouth. There is some warmth on the finish, reflecting the ripeness of the fruit at harvest.

This is one wine where we are not shy about our oak usage and while the bouquet is complex and full of rich dark fruits there is a heady waft of burnt toffee and spiced oak in there as well. Given time in the glass the nose offers up even more - christmas cake and raisin fruit aromatics with a gentle alcohol lift.

This is a pretty serious beast – best (we think) with at least another 8-10 years. If you are less patient I suggest a monster rib eye, slow roasted with balsamic glaze.
