A firmly structured wine exhibiting a tinge of violets and spicy white pepper characteristics on the nose, which carry over to the palate, enhanced by fresh dark berry fruits and sweet vanillin oak. Enjoy now or be rewarded by cellaring for 6-8 years.
Winemaker's Notes
6.616 tonnes of shiraz grapes were picked by hand at the Woody Nook vineyard at a Baumé of 13.4° on March 7, 2007, the same day seeing them begin their illustrious journey, first into the open fermenters for several days of plunging, followed by several more in stainless steel tanks for malolactic fermentation. Shiraz is matured in American oak barrels at Woody Nook and remains in them for 18-24 months. 507 cases were bottled in February 2009.
