Nicks Wine Merchants were long time supporters of the Sunbury district in the late 1980's and early 1990's, frequently promoting the efforts of the region's two top vineyards of the time - Goonawarra and Craiglee. We're pleased to introduce the wines from this small estate to a new generation of wine lovers. Pat Carmody continues as winemaker, using the fruit grown at Craiglee, and is assisted by his wife Dianne and their sons.

A welcome return from winemaker Pat Carmody with this excellent full bodied shiraz.

Opaque deep crimson dark red black colour with deep dark red mauve hue. Perfumed aromas of blackberry, liquorice strap, aniseed and blackpepper. The palate boasts rich full bodied spicy flavours of aniseed, liquorice and blackberry followed by some blackpepper on the back palate. Very fine grained well integrated tannin structure with very long aftertaste of liquorice, aniseed and blackpepper.
