Comes with 18 months in oak, basket pressed and unfiltered and the result is one elegant Shiraz with real poise and class. There’s clearly a ripeness and a richness here and it has been worked into a fine textured, well detailed, integrated whole that can’t help but impress. Oak is well managed and there is support from fine tannins on a palate beautifully delivered in concentrated blackberry, cassis, Aussie bush notes and earth with Eden Valley high spice, including allspice and peppercorn, with sage. Palate is mid weight, velvety in texture, framed in a lovely spiciness and delivered long. Impressive.
