2006 Penny's Hill Footprint Shiraz

As with each vintage of ‘Footprint’, only the most outstanding Shiraz fruit from the best performing rows of the Penny’s Hill Vineyards was selected for this wine. Parcels were harvested over the course of several days from rows 81-87 on the northern side of the original Penny’s Hill Shiraz plantings. 2006 produced fruit of exceptional condition and winemaker Ben Riggs, considers this years Footprint the best yet.

Very deep almost opaque black crimson colour with black crimson hue. Perfumed varietal lift of violets, liquorice, spice and cedar with ripe blackberry end note. On the palate flavours of vanilla with layers of spice, black pepper and cedar. Excellent length and depth. Very long aftertaste of liquorice allsorts, vanilla and violet.
