Winemaking: The wine was fermented in stainless steel static fermenters and pumped over twice per day. Wine was then pressed and transferred to new French oak. It was then racked post MLF, and returned to barrel. The wine was topped regularly with one racking 6 months later. The total maturation in oak was for 18 months. The wine was bottled with no fining or filtration.
Colour: Purple, crimson with a dense centre and a youthful edge.
Nose: The aromas are slightly introverted as a young but there are aromas of dark plums and blackberry and toasty oak.
Palate. The fruit is actually quite solid but repressed by oak and tannin at the moment.
It is quite an elegant style on the palate, dark berry fruits mingled with mocha and cassis notes.
Notes: Old Vine Shiraz is a wine that will never be overtly fruity. It is best suited to those who prefer a savoury style. Enjoy over the next 10 years
