Description

Sourced from the NSW Hilltops region, at an elevation of around 600m.

Tasting Note

This rich and flavoursome wine shows classic cool climate Shiraz notes of white pepper and aromatic red fruit, combined with a long, well-structured finish.

Vineyard

The fruit was sourced from two of the Hilltops’ finest vineyards and was picked in late March at around 13.5be.

Winemaking

After picking, the fruit was crushed and destemmed into open top fermenters, where a warm, even fermentation took place. Once pressed, the wine was matured for 10 months in French oak barriques, approximately 15% of which were new.

Cellaring

Though drinking beautifully now, this fine wine will gain further complexity and interest over the next 10-12 years.

Food Match

This full flavoured wine will pair well with rich dishes such as lamb shanks, ratatouille and fine aged cheese.
