Sourced from dry grown vines planted in the 1930’s this Shiraz was aged in both new and seasoned American and French oak for 16 months. Totally opaque midnight black colour with a deep dark red black hue. Pronounced aromas of liquorice, ripe blackberries and dark chocolate fill the nostrils followed by vanillin oak and mocha. Big, rich and luscious the palate features mouthfilling flavours of liquorice, ripe blackberries and dark chocolate over a back drop of toasty vanillin oak, mocha and spice. Velvet smooth tannins. Opulently textured with a long finale of liquorice, ripe blackberries, toasty vanillin oak, dark chocolate and spice.
Cellar 5-6 years.
Alc 15%
