Tasting Notes:

Black ink in colour with purple hues, this is a big, earthy style of McLaren Vale Shiraz.  The nose is extremely complex, displaying dark fruits, forest floor, game, earth and meaty characters.  Although considered to be an extremely serious and big wine, the bouquet is delightfully fragrant and draws you in with enticing characters.  The nose carries over to the palate where you will find many of the same characters although they are accompanied by lavish dark and red fruits laced with gratifying anise, cloves and Asian spice.  As the wine opens and develops a dark chocolate character can also be detected.  The tannins are earthy and while reasonably imposing in youth it will round out later in life as the mineral fruit continues to open up and express itself.

Technical:

Grapes were sourced from the stand out vineyards of the vintage in this case it was two vineyards situated in the McLaren Vale foothills which feature vines up to and including some which are up to 100+ years of age. Hand picked fruit; delivered in cooled transport to the winery where all fruit is sorted bunch by bunch with only the selection of the best cleanest fruit.


Each parcel picked at the optimum time was processed separately and each was treated as seen fit by the winemaker. Cold maceration at around 5 degrees for between 4 and 6 days preceded a gentle warming. Fermentation with indigenous yeast to start and finished with selected saccharomyces, involves daily pigeage. The skins are basket pressed into French and American oak hogheads for maturation. The final assemblage is made just prior to bottling, minimal SO2 added and minimal fining and filtration.
