Fox Creek Reserve Shiraz is only made in the best years, in very small quantities. Reserve Shiraz is not only a forerunner in developing the reputation of Fox Creek, but also the McLaren Vale region, showcasing exceptional fruit quality, structure, complexity, balance, elegance, length of flavour and approachability when young with long term cellaring potential.
Intense, deep garnet. Red cherry, raspberry and blood plum fruit aromas layered with cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg, fennel seed with hints of cedar and smoky toast.
The full flavoured palate with plum, cherries, mulberry and raspberries. Black cherries and dark chocolate fill out the mid palate.
The wine finishes with great balance and elegance, characterised by rich dark tannins framing the back of the palate and ending with firm, textural tannins. These tannins give the wine excellent structure and length, and will become richer and softer as the wine ages rewarding those who can cellar it.
A phalanx of dark fruits and cherry bonbon notes, all soaked in creamy vanilla chocolate, serve as the attack. The impression is one of power, yet there is nothing particularly heavy about the wine despite its weight and richness. Sinuous grape tannins and a prism of sexy French oak frame the barrage of fruit flavours, assuaging sweetness and any sense of heat.
