Winemaker Notes
The 2017 vintage was hot and dry and produced outstanding quality fruit from all varieties. The grapes were picked together from the same block and co-fermented under cool conditions using cultured aromatic yeast. After fermentation the wine was placed in new and used French oak barriques where it matured for 20 months prior to bottling. The intense tannins of the Mourvedre help lift the spicy notes of the Shiraz in the wine to provide a medium - full bodied structure accentuated coupled with vanillin notes from the oak.
92 Points - Huon Hooke, www.huonhooke.com
“The structure is good, with light tannins adding a little grip and spine to the palate and follow-through. Very good wine, and it will keep a while”.
