Evans & Tate Pile Driver Shiraz 2017 (6x 750mL) Margaret River

Description:

WINEMAKING

Harvest was done during the coolest part of the night. The cool fruit was then gently transferred to a fermenter where it was cold soaked to contribute unique aromatics, intense stable colour and a soft texture in the end wine. At the completion of fermentation, each barrel was pressed separately to tank before being racked off yeast lees to barrel or tank for maturation. The finished blend was filtered once before bottling.

Winery Tasting Notes

Notes Image

Colour

Intense purple red with a black heart typical of Shiraz..

Aroma

A rich bold plum and mulberry scent with hint of licorice and the fragrant notes of rose petals provides a refreshing floral lift. Delicate earthy aromas, savoury spices and fresh cedar from barrel maturation contributes intriguing complexities.

Palate

An intensely fruit driven wine led by ripe, juicy mulberry and cherry flavours overlaid with layers of earth, roasted spices, and white peppercorn that captivate the palate. Fine, silken tannins provide a wonderful textural element.

And in the spirit of unpredictability and intrigue, we create fresh, new styles that have an undeniable allure. Whether you're out dining with friends, enjoying a glass at home or need something special to celebrate with - we make wines that complement your lifestyle. And because we know they taste great, you can be assured that our wines will reflect your great taste.
