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.
Shiraz 96% Riesling 4%
Often when you first taste a wine it delivers a character that resonates immediately. You know it…..., it is instantly familiar.
When I first sat down to do this tasting, that is what occurred with this wine. Eventually it hit me. Chinese five spice. But a refined, tempered version, but distinctive nonetheless. Register that character, along with some fine cedar, before putting it in your mouth, when the sweet peppery whole bunch character takes over. Rounded, smooth, almost pinot like strawberries fill the mouth.
