What to Expect

Australia has certainly made Syrah its own, even bestowing it with a new name: Shiraz. In the warm, dry climate of Australia this noble grape, responsible for some of the grandest wines of France, produces an intense, unique expression that is distinctly Australian. The ripe grapes take on classic notes of black pepper and leather that add depth and complexity to the black cherry and plum fruits on the palate. Australian Shiraz has typically been aged in American Oak barrels which impart the wine with a distinct note of vanilla that can add to the impression of ripeness many of these wines have, but the time in barrel also allows the wines a chance to settle and reveal their rich, voluptuously styled mouthfeel.

Winemakers Notes

This wine shows attractive colours of light ruby and watermelon and exhibits aromas of black cherry & cherry plum with hints of confectionary & baked toffee. On the palate soft and gentle flavours of light plum & strawberries are enhanced by a dash of spritziness. The flavours linger to a clean finish with a suggestion of cinnamon and spice.
Cabernet Sauvignon (73%) & Shiraz (27%)
