This is an exhilarating, complex, terroir driven Shiraz. It has rich flavours of spicy red and black berries, violets, spice, leather and forest floor supported by a spine of cool climate acidity. Fourteen months in French oak 300 litre ‘hogsheads’ has resulted in a finely balanced wine underpinned by earthy terroir characters. This wine was made from hand-picked fruit grown at the Amietta Vineyard on the edge of the Moorabool Valley near Bannockburn. An excellent wine to drink now, it will continue to mature over the next ten years.
