Long Gully Estate Single Vineyard Yarra Valley Shiraz 2019

Share

A classic cool climate Shiraz made from fruit that was destemmed and fermented in tank. 20% was retained in stainless steel tanks while the rest oak aged, of which 10% was new. 

The colour is a very dark red. Stick your nose in the glass and it is full flavoured spiciness, most notably white pepper. If more elegant and cooler climate shiraz is for you, then this is a must try. Florals, a hint of chocolate plus black fruits are backed by good acidity. It is a well balanced wine which lingers with intent and shows a slight leafiness on the finish though it does not detract, just contributes to the complexity. Again, better in 2 to 5 years.
