"Bannockburn’s Douglas red blend is always an interesting wine. This release from 2014 is a blend of shiraz (65%), cabernet sauvignon (20%), pinot noir (10%) and merlot (5%).
Separate batches of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir fruit fermented using indigenous yeasts. Pressed to hogsheads for 12 months élevage, racked, blended and returned to half barriques. Bottled with light filtration September 2015.
The richness of Shiraz is tempered by the tension of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot adds sweet fruits and palate continuity while the Pinot Noir lends transparency and versatility with food pairings.
‘It's truffly and spicy, tomato bush-y and cherried. There are blackcurrant notes, game influences, herb and floral nuances. The whole box and dice, basically.’
