Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Aroma/Palate

The vintage has resulted in a powerful, full flavoured wine with deep colour.

Typical Shiraz varietal aroma and generous palate with robust body and drying tannins.

Food Matching

Enjoy on its own or any accompaniment.

Cellaring Potential

Bottle maturation is warranted for a further 10 years from its vintage, however for those Shiraz drinkers who decide to drink now decanting and gentle airing of this wine is recommended for this hand crafted unfiltered wine.

Grays Tasting Panel Review

Rich and chocolateky with dark fruits and slight 'port-like' undertones. Good acidity to hold all together. Even better on the 2nd night
