2016 Zema Estate Shiraz, Coonawarra

An elegant palate of plum, cherry and raspberry, complimented by cloves, spice and cedary oak for a soft, savoury finish. Medium bodied with excellent structure, the Estate Shiraz will repay cellaring for at least ten years.

Estate-grown, hand-picked, matured in American and French oak for 15 months, from a stalwart of the region. Good colour; the complex bouquet ranges through black berry/cherry fruit, spice and Coonawarra earth, which all appear in the full-bodied, balanced and long palate. The tannin structure is in tune with the oak, adding the icing to the cake. Regarded by Zema as outstanding.
