A spicy wine with cracked pepper, violets, blueberry and clove.

This is a wine that continues to surprise seasoned Shiraz lovers with its vibrant fresh dark red fruits such as blueberries, cherries and plum that shimmer alongside the creamy & precise French oak.

An elegant and complex Shiraz from single vineyards High Eden Vineyard. 

The nose has real depth, almost brooding, dark plums and blackberry perfectly integrated with the more elegant characters of black pepper and aniseed, a hint of spicy oak sitting in the background.

This wine reflects the vintage it is full bodied with mouth filling plum and mulberry fruit yet the palate is beautifully structured with layers of fine tannin and complimentary characters of liquorice ironstone and cacoa. A wonderful vintage that could be very special in time.

Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb.

This full bodied wine displays aromas of blackberry and black pepper supported by spicy, dark fruits on the palate with subtle integrated oak. The extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine grained tannins.  

The hand-picked grapes were destemmed, but not crushed, and spent seven days on skins in an open fermenter with twice daily hand-plunging and gentle pump-overs of the cap to extract colour, flavours and tannins. This was followed by careful basket pressing and maturation in a combination of American and French oak barrels for twenty two months prior to bottling. In keeping with our non-interventionist winemaking style we have neither fined nor filtered this wine and as a result decanting is recommended.
