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.

Intense deep purple and violet hues suggest a depply flavored wine. There are powerful, hypnotic aromas of brandied cherries, Christmas pudding and smoky charcuterie lying beneath delicate aromatics of creme anglais, violet perfume and ripe mulberries. On the palate, the wine continues intently with harmony between power of fruit and delicacy of structure. The harmony arises from intense ripe fruits and mouth-filling weight deftly harnessed by the chalky tannins and gentle acidity which maintains the palate for a long time after drinking.

document.getElementById("NoProductImage").innerHTML = ""; The best wine yet under this label has a deep- heady and musky perfume that unfolds layers of black and red fruits- exotics spices and smoky vanilla oak. Full to medium in weight- it's velvet-smooth but powerfully flavoured- revealing a lightly minty expression of fruitcake-like spicy dark plums- berries and plain chocolate that steadily builds and persists along the palate. There's some warmth and spirity undertones- but a sumptuous- deeply structured presence of well-ripened fruit- oak read more...
