Wine Summary Image

Our Shiraz was picked then de-stemmed into a combination of small open fermenters, maintaining as many whole berries as possible. In addition, we also filled small vessels for 100% whole bunch fermentation. Fermenters were pumped over or plunged by hand twice a day; temperature was held around 25°C. The wine was then pressed to Burgundian oak ranging in size from 225L to 600L with less than 10% new for Malo-lactic fermentation, allowing a soft integration of the grape and oak tannins. The wine was blended and bottled after 10 months oak maturation.

Expert Reviews

This cracker is the second label for Forest Hill... Excellent wine.

94 Points

This cracker is the second label for Forest Hill and is sourced from different vineyards in Frankland River and Mount Barker. Soft and spicy with an excellent concentration of fruit. Dark plum and other red currant additions make such a beautiful combination. The oak is neatly integrated. Excellent wine.

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep red cherry, with purple hues.

Aroma

Lifted aromas of fresh red and dark berries fruit, with complex characters of pepper, sweet spice and cigar box.

Palate

Long and soft mouth feel, with silky tannins giving good support and length.

Cellaring

This wine is certainly enjoyable now; though will age well over the next 3-5 years.

Cellaring

Moussaka of lamb shank with fondant potato and lamb jus. The moussaka of lamb shank adds to the savoury, earthy

undertones in the well balanced Shiraz, as well as complimenting the fine dusty berry tannins in the wine.
