Tasting Notes:

The wine is dark red with a garnet hue. It has aromas of plum, cherries and spice along with hints of vanillin oak. It has a succulent palate of ripe plum and berry fruit that is complemented by spice, chocolate and vanillin oak that is in harmony with well structured tannins.

Technical:

Moderate rainfall in spring and early summer followed by mild summer temperatures and cooler than usual evenings leading up to the harvest, resulted in some of the best flavour seen for many years in the Riverina. Good natural acidity and a long ripening period combined with yields being slightly down saw great varietal flavours. The vineyards chosen exhibited rich fruit flavours with generous colour and were harvested when flavour was at its optimum. Fermented on skins for 5-7 days at 20-22°C to maximise fruit, tannin and colour extraction.

Accolades & Awards:

HARVEY STEIMAN, WINE SPECTATOR SEPTEMBER 2013

"Global Value Red Wine Light, with a smooth texture and cherry and herb flavours."

JAMES HALLIDAY, AUSTRALIAN WINE COMPANION, MARCH 2013
"Light red-purple; cleverly made by a skilled winemaking team which has invested the wine with an extra dimension of texture to the light-bodied plum and cherry fruit, a whisper of oak and a juicy finish."

INTERNATIONAL WINE CHALLENGE LONDON 2013

"Bramble and raspberry fruit with well integrated oak and a smoky, plummy undertone."

ULTIMATE WINE CHALLENGE TRIED & TRUE AWARD 2014

"Deep ruby red color. The nose is filled with the scents of ripe raspberry with red cherries and a hint of vanilla. The palate agrees adding a lovely tart cherry note that adds intrigue with supporting notes of chocolate, brown baking spices, and subtle oak."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brad from For the price this wine is exceptional. I would compare this wine with wines that I would normally expect to pay 2 to 3 times what I did pay for this. It would be the best sub $10 Shiraz I have had for some time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gary Sw from Super Shiraz!! This wine is a superb drop, and something I would not normally go for, but I must say it is the best Shiraz I have had this year and will cellar for a few more years yet - but drinking very well now.
