This shiraz comes from a single vineyard which appears to have created the distinctive characters of limestone and iron filings with a slightly cooler cherry brandy character, albeit just a smidgen to provide some contrast and context. The mouth feel is a feature. It fits more into the medium bodied category and the way it rolls effortlessly along its long curvy lines is so engaging. A perfectly poised and expressive shiraz that demonstrates the qualities of this variety in Coonawarra.
