The nose is lifted berry fruits, with hints of dark chocolate and spice. The palate is me-dium bodied with intense plummy fruit. This plummy fruit fills the whole palate and combined with the soft and approachable tannins creates a very mouth filling wine. The length of flavour is long with plumy and liquorice fruit and spicy oak.
Several warmer weeks in January and February ensured the reds developed excellent colour and fruit character whilst maintaining good acid structure and overall balance. Vintage 2012 was a ‘light’ year with yields of both reds and whites 20-30% below what would normally be expected. The grapes are crushed and de-stemmed into fermenters. Yeast is added immediately once in fermenter and the ferments are pumped over twice daily to maximise colour, tannin and flavour extraction. Cooling is used to ensure ferment temperatures remain in the 22-25 degree celcius range which will allow the fruit to display maximum fruit expression. Pressing then occurs approximately seven days after crushing and the wine is then put into predominately American oak to mature.
Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
"The 2012 Shiraz Two Jokers spent 12 months in American oak and is a flavorful fruit-bomb style of wine with notes of charcoal, blackberry, chocolate, pepper, low acidity and soft, velvety tannin. Drink it over the next 1-2 years—it is flavorful."
