Purple Palate

Here is another fine example of Barossa Shiraz. The wine has been Co-fermented with 4% Viognier in open fermenters and matured for 14 months in second use oak barrels of various origin. From a reasonably low yielding year this Shiraz is a finer style wine with some good spicy characters. The colour is a dense dark red with a purple hue and the nose is showing fragrant lifted smokey bacon and spicy Shiraz aromas. Bursting with dark fruit flavours and well balanced with soft velvet tannins the finish shows some complex spicy pepper and hung meat notes that linger nicely on the palate. -CE
