“I regularly buy Shiraz from Limb wineries and have never been disappointed. Not only does it drink well immediately but have been able to cellar a number of bottles and resist the temptation to open them early. Great value from a great winery.”

Tasting Notes
Dense, vibrant purple red in colour. Brooding Shiraz with ripe, sweet fruit notes of plum, blackberry and pepper on the nose. This wine illustrates exactly how Ivan Limb has been handcrafting premium red wine for his entire life, in the vineyard. The terror and microclimate of specific blocks produce something different year with the obvious characters of this vintage being robust fleshy fruit. The ripe mouth filling berry and cinnamon spice flavours, along with oak derived mocha overtones and soft yet well defined tannins ensure a high drinkable and moreish style of Barossa Shiraz.
Technical Notes
Picking started earlier than usual when the colour and baume levels were at an optimum, then the grapes were gently crushed and fermented in my small capacity open top fermenters for 7 days with plunging twice daily. The wine was then pressed and drained off into some new and old French and American hogsheads’ for 12 months prior to bottling. This wine encapsulates Barossa Valley Shiraz the way it should be, an honest reflection of the vineyard where it was grown.
