The 2011 Leydens Vale Shiraz wine displays a bright ruby red colour. The spicy aroma shows regional white pepper and spice, backed by lifted vanillin oak. The flavours are sweet cherry fruit, beguiling spices and forest like leafy notes, surrounding the sweet vanillin core. This is a soft dry red that is drinking well now but will also reward short term cellaring. Try this wine with kangaroo fillets, lamb dishes or mature cheeses.
Shiraz produces some of Australia’s finest dry red wines especially from regions that allow the development of ripe Shiraz berry flavours, whilst the sugar and tannin levels remain in balance, and the Pyrenees is one such region. The 2010 / 2011 grape growing season was saved by a warm dry Autumn after a wet spring and summer, which promoted vine growth and accentuated the cool climate characters of these wines. Maturation for 18 months in French and American barrels has enhanced and softened this wine.
