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

"Our vineyard is in the coolest parts of mclaren vale, giving our low yields times to slowly accumulate concentrated powerful flavours of blackberry and plums, with hints of spice. The open fermenters and wild yeast allow maximum extraction and complexity with soft silky tannins "       PETER FRASER, Winemaker • 93 Points/Editors Choice, Wine Enthusiast-June 2007 • Double Gold, Florida State Fair International Wine Competition-February 2007 • Double Gold, Fingerlakes Int'l Wine Competition-April 2007 • Exceptional, Dan Berger's read more...

Wine Skinny

Ripe, voluptuous and thick with fruit -- blackberry, plum, blueberry -- picking up complex spice and toast notes through the supple finish. Delish! Ready to drink now and over the next four or five years.

Our vineyard is in the coolest part of McLaren Vale, giving our low yields time to slowly accumulate concentrated powerful flavors of blackberry and plums, with hints of spice. The open fermenters and wild yeast allow maximum extraction and complexity with soft silky tannins. -Peter Fraser, Winemaker
