2013 Port Phillip Single Vineyard Serenne Shiraz, Mornington Peninsula

The Port Phillip Estate Serenne Shiraz is a single site wine. The fruit for this wine is 100% destemmed, and fermented without yeast inoculation in large-format oak foudre for 19 days. The maturation period was 16 months in all-used french oak, bottled without fining or filtration. Tasted April 2015 Vibrant dark red in colour. Intriguing perfume of cassis, dry herbs and a mixture of spice, most notably pepper and anise. The medium-bodied palate, filled with red and black berry flavours, is tightly structured with fine tannin running the entire length, culminating in a long, sustained finish.
