Tasting Notes
Deep cherry in colour. This wine exhibits aromas of rich, punchy spice with hints of plum jam and black cracked pepper. The palate is full and luscious and is layered with flavours of plum, spice and chocolate. This wine has a firm fruit backbone with rich gentle mouth filling tannins. A full bodied wine which has good length and is an excellent example of Barossa Shiraz.
Technical Notes
The 2015 vintage will be remembered as short, swift and sensational! The season started with good early and mid-winter rains, however August to November saw virtually no rain. Budburst started in early to mid-September with a rapid onset of fruit set. The near perfect, mild ripening conditions continued through December and early January. Mid-January saw rainfalls of 50mm replenishing soil moisture and setting the vines for perfect ripening conditions. The warmer weather in February accelerated ripening with vintage starting in the last week of January. The whites and reds show wonderful aromas and good natural acidy, with the reds showing very strong colour. The fruit comes from several different vineyards situated on the Barossa Valley floor. The vineyards range from 15 to 30 years old and yield on average 4t/acre.
