The Eileen Hardy Shiraz is consistently outstanding. The 1999 release comes from a multi regional blend, which is designed to add further layers of complexity. The wine was fermented in traditional open fermenters, basket pressed, and subsequently spent 18 months maturing in new and old French oak.

Opaque black crimson colour with deep crimson hue. The nose is superb with lifted aroma of violets, blackcurrant, cedar and confectionary, followed by end notes of truffle and liquorice. The palate flavours are mouthfilling and display the degree of concentration expected from a wine of this calibre. Blackberry and blackpepper flavours emerge over layers of plum, cedar and just a hint of earth. Fine dry tannins, followed by very long anise, liquorice, blackberry and plum aftertaste.
