2007 Warrabilla Reserve Shiraz

In 2007 Warrabilla's premium 'Parola's' wines were not made, instead, all of the fruit went into the Warrabilla Reserve wines. Winemaker, Andrew Sutherland-Smith comments: “2007 was a very dry year. Not too hot but mighty dry. We started with a frost very early in the season which wiped out the lower sections of the vineyard. These are big generous wines full of tannin. The colours are awesome, probably the low yields helped in this regard as well. All our vineyards were about the 1 tonne to the acre mark. Apart from the low yield and better oak its pretty well business as usual for us. The Warrabilla style is pretty well understood by our customers.”

Totally opaque black purple colour with black purple hue. Showing strong cling to the glass wall. Perfumed top note of violet, concentrated blackberry juice, vanilla and spice with liquorice allsorts end note. Explosive palate flavours – black pepper, spice, liquorice and vanilla fill the mouth, followed by a strong, very spicy back palate. Fine grained tannins, perfect balance. Very long aftertaste of blackberry, vanilla, liquorice and black pepper.
