2010 Penny's Hill Footprint Shiraz

Vineyards are not botanically homogenous places. Special micro areas seem to produce consistently outstanding fruit, but even this is not static. Traditionally, only an experienced viticulturalist is able to discern these special micro areas. However, with new technology, micro terroirs can now be mapped from the sky using infrared mapping technology coupled with intense geological surveying of soil profiles and capacitance probes which monitor soil moisture.
Penny’s Hill Footprint is the result of such meticulous mapping and flavour profiling. From a miniscule yield of a dozen rows that are very densely planted, this stunning Shiraz delivers a melange of freshcrushed, mixed red fruits combined with a succulent texture that's plain dangerous. Arthur C.Clarke never envisaged satellite technology would be used to this effect in his profiles of the future!

Totally opaque black dark crimson red colour with dark crimson red black hue. Magnificent nose with heady aromas of liquorice, dark chocolate and mocha all wafting from the glass followed by some vanillin oak and spice. Superb richness with totally mouthfilling flavours of ripe blackberry, dark plum and liquorice followed by some dark chocolate and vanillin oak. Plush opulent mouthfeel with silky smooth tannin structure. Outstanding depth with very long joosy liquorice, ripe blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and spice aftertaste.
