1996 Dalwhinnie Shiraz

Notes sourced from Dalwhinnie wines.

The 1996 growing season was one of the coolest on record. This cool slow ripening period allowed the fruit to reach optimum ripeness and has resulted in a classic Dalwhinnie Shiraz. The wine was matured in small French oak barrels.Deep purple colour. The nose displays fantastic varietal Shiraz aromas - spice, white pepper and blackberry fruits. The palate reflects the nose - very generous rich fruit characters, well balanced to the acid and oak. Dalhwinnie regard this wine as one of their best efforts to date - in the style of the outstanding 1991 vintage. Cellar up to 10 years.
