Color: Bright red with garnet tinge.
Palate: Rich, savoury front palate with soft tannins and spicy backbone, reminds of Rhone with a distinctly Australian edge, finishes nicely. Would be terrific with BBQ meats, lamb and beef particularly.
Nose: Soft peppercorns with savoury spice.First release of their new wine, sourced from the Malakoff Vineyard at Henty (this vineyard has previously provided fruit for Rhone superstar, Michel Chapoutier). This is a Shiraz of style and finesse. There is certainly refinement here but also spicy notes, not least a noticeable hint of white pepper. Deep magenta in colour, there are strong tones of strawberries with sweet cherries. There is balance, satiny tannins and length here, in what is a fine cooler climate Shiraz that will provide pleasure over the next six to eight years.
