2018 Barossa Deutsche Shiraz

Using only fruit from the gnarled old vines of our Vine Vale vineyard, the 2018 Vintage was matured for 2 years in a blend of French and American oak. Blackberries, stewed plums and mocha are apparent on the nose, backed-up on the palate by pepper spice and fine grainy tannins. Elegant, full-bodied and smooth, this wine is beautifully consistent with earlier vintages and luscious example of a Barossa Shiraz.

Colour: Very deep garnet red Aroma.

Aroma: Blackberries, stewed plums and mocha are apparent on the nose.

Taste: Blackberries, stewed plums and mocha, pepper spice and fine grainy tannins.

Food: Best served decanted and rested for 2-3 hours. Try it with anything, but especially aged beef, or barbequed lamb.

Cellaring:  This wine is drinking well now, but careful cellaring will be rewarded.
