2007 Shiraz

VINTAGE
2007 was a very good vintage with warm dry conditions throughout March and April providing very favourable fruit flavours with excellent natural acid & balance.

WINEMAKING
The Shiraz was harvested when the grapes were a little riper due to the warm weather experienced in the region. Fermentation on the skins was carried out for 7 days to retain generous flavours and structure.

COLOUR
Intense red / purple in colour.

BOUQUET
A warm raspberry and blackberry interlaced with rich vanilla and fragrant oak.

PALATE
An appealing palate of spiced fresh plum and berry fruit with gentle tannins and seamlessly intergrated oak.

SUGGESTED FOOD
Enjoy with venison or duck dishes or fine cheeses.

CELLARING
Drinking well now to 2012.
