Darby and Joan Shiraz has a deep, dark centre with a red brick edge. The bouquet has notes of blackberry with abundant aromas of cherries and underlying cinnamon and cedary oak that adds complexity. On the palate you find a fruit driven style with flavours of blackberry, plum, cherry and traces of tomato leaf, nutmeg and cedar.
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of six days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft, round, fleshy fruit and tannins while helping to build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with old French oak.
