Two key factors give rise to the stylistic consistency that is the single vineyard Voices of Angels. The first is that 10-15 % whole bunch is used in the fermentation, the second is the inclusion of 3% Riesling off the same block and of the same vine age as the Shiraz. This has been the treatment of this fruit over the last 25 years. Ageing "sur lie" for the full maturation period, in 100% new French Oak, builds and richens the structure and mouth feel before settling to achieve natural clarification.
A mix of dark fruit fragrance and whole bunch character. Lovely quality cedar notes from the 100% new French oak are apparent. A finesse and elegance defines the palate, but there is density and definition. Single Vineyard - 97% Shiraz, 3% Riesling.
97 points - James Halliday
Fermented with 10-15% whole bunches and 3% riesling, aged on lees in new French oak for 28 months. Grains of Paradise is all about comforting elegance, but this wine throws down the gauntlet with its more edgy, clearly articulated complexity. It has elements of cool climate style, due to the whole bunch inclusion and riesling. Different as chalk and cheese to Grains of Paradise.
