After the success of our 2015 and 2016 Shiraz, we were extremely excited by the harvest from 2017.
Having closely monitored the development of our Block Reserve Shiraz, we decided to allocate the balance of Block 5 to our core range in 2017.
After 9 days on skins, the colour and tannin extraction were bang on where we wanted them, and the juice was pressed on to French oak for maturing.
After 18 months we bottled our third Shiraz, which is another great example of what our vineyard can produce.
Colour
Deep ruby
Bouquet
Aromas of dark cherry and blackcurrant are complemented by hints of cinnamon, nutmeg and white pepper.
Palate
A fruit driven wine, well-structured and balanced with medium to high tannins. The ripe cherries and red plums are delicately intertwined with hints of vanilla, liquorice and spice. The persisting flavours make this a gorgeous wine with incredible length.
