2006 Sevenhill Inigo Shiraz

After several generations of Jesuit winemakers, the last being Brother John May, a young lady was appointed in 2005. Liz Heidenreich has made an immediate impact by taking the quality of the wines to a higher level than had previously been achieved. The fruit for this wine has been sourced from vines up to 100 years old.

Opaque black purple colour with black purple hue. Perfumed nose of cedar, liquorice, blackberry and vanilla with confectionary end note. Mouthfilling palate with flavours of liquorice, blackberry, spice and black pepper. Explosive back palate with black pepper, plum & spice dominant. Fine grained balanced tannins. Very long aftertaste.
Cellar 3-4 years (2011-2012)
Alc/Vol:14.5%

Other Reviews...
The historic Sevenhill Cellars of the Jesuitical Manresa Society also has 100-year-old shiraz vines from which this wine was made. It is spectacularly rich and dense, with multiple layers of blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate flavours supported by ripe tannins; it will particularly appeal to those who enjoy full-bodied reds.
