The 2010 Moonbark Shiraz is outstanding value for a four year old wine that was matured in French and American oak for 18 months. This wine is medium-full bodied with peppery spice, blackberries and liquorice.
This small family-owned and operated vineyard is located on a 17.1ha property in the Pyrenees region. Rod Chivers and his family have slowly established their vineyard with 1ha of shiraz, 0.5ha of merlot and 0.25ha of cabernet sauvignon planted on the red clay soils intermingled with quartz typical of the region. Established in 1998 there are only 500 cases produced in total. The vineyard currently produces on average 9 tonnes of premium quality grapes, with Shiraz being the predominate variety. The philosophy at Moonbark is that great wines are made in the vineyard and this can only be achieved by careful management of the relationship between soil and vine. Although the vineyard is what they like to call 'miniscule boutique', the production of quality wine on the small scale holds no less challenges than the larger players in the wine industry. The grapes produced on the vineyard are of a high quality, ultimately resulting in wine of integrity and quality.
