Description
The palate has lovely ripe fruit weight that is overlaid with layers of savoury spice., mocha and cedar notes adding complexity. The firm, tight tannins and acid balance work together to carry the palate to present a wine with wonderful length of flavour. In short, a great wine from a great vintage.
Estate grown old vine Shiraz was handpicked, then de-stemmed to small 5 tonne open fermenters which also included around 10% whole bunch clusters. Following a three-day cold soak, the must was inoculated with a select yeast isolate, gently worked through to dryness, then pressed to tank at completion of fermentation. The wine was transferred to French oak barriques (10% new) for Malolactic Fermentation, then spent 14 months maturing in these barrels prior to blending and bottling. This wine has been held in bottle for two years before release, and whilst drinking well in its youth, will reward the patience of careful cellaring for 10-15 years.

Tasting Notes (Palate)
The palate has lovely ripe fruit weight that is overlaid with layers of savoury spice and cedar notes from the oak maturation. The ripe tannins and bright acidity are in balance working together to carry the flavours of the palate. A wine that captures a sense of place and its Swan Valley origin.
