Description
For many years Clare Valley Shiraz has captivated wine enthusiasts with its power and elegant synergism. This wine emulates just that style, graceful yet flavoursome, gentle enough to enjoy on its own or great with a diverse range of food.
Lifted violet, blueberry and jubed fruit bouquets leads the nose with nuances of vanilla oak flavour due to American oak maturation. The palate is rounded and medium bodied with silky tannins and dark cherry and ripe raspberries with a hint of herb and spice.
Winemaking Notes
Premium Shiraz from selected vineyards throughout the central Clare Valley, was fermented for a week with its skins using a mild pump-over regime. Hard pressings were separated from the blend to ensure optimum mouthfeel and texture. The wine was then matured using predominantly American oak for 22 months before fining, filtration, further tank maturation and bottling.
It is suitable for drinking anytime from the present to ten years of age, and will complement all red meats, particularly char-grilled steak.
