Grampians Shiraz

2014 . $24

The wine is full bodied, with a nose of plum pudding and earthy overtones. This wine is unfiltered with french oak playing a noticeable role in the background.

Colour:

Totally opaque and inky. A dark black core with a deep purple hue.

Aroma:

Intense ripe blackberry and violet scents, followed by a touch of dark chocolate with clearly present French oak.

Taste / Mouth Feel:

Full and rich opulent mouth feel, ripe blackberries, violets and liquorice saturate the palate followed by some dark chocolate and the softness of new French oak. Fantastic fruit purity, power, and density with a long finish.

Wine Makers Note.

One for lovers of big Shiraz. The power of a hot climate Shiraz without being over cooked and over oaked.

Not fined. Not filtered.
