Aromatically a real sense of balance pervades with intense, but pert and alive aromas of compote black berry fruit, dark chocolate and faint spice so often associated with Shiraz appearing early. On the palate the wine opens with an unctuous mouth filling attack, but still shows fresh and balanced and without any hint of heaviness. Primary dark fruit remains ever present and a super fine tannin frame pins in the fruit just enough to provide a clear target for the line of travel and ensures the fruit lingers long on the end of the palate. Tightly coiled in its youth and will benefit from a decant.
The Moorooroo Shiraz has been rated 99 points by James Halliday for the last three vintages 2015, 2016 and 2017
Four rows of vines planted by the Jacob brothers in 1847, and saved from destruction by Ed Schild in 1984. Hand-picked, bunch-sorted, berry-sorted by table post destemmer, open-fermented, 5-8 days cold soak, 7-14-day ferment, matured for 18-24 months in 90% French/10% American oak (30% new). A great wine, the oak handling exemplary, keeping the cornucopia of purple and black fruits foremost. The mouthfeel is supple, the alcohol also exemplary. It's history gives it an extra point.
