Reserve Shiraz
In exceptional years after considered barrel tasting a decision is made to blend some of the wine to appear under our Reserve label.
We look for barrels with outstanding fruit flavour , fine tannins and good balance. A very limited number number of cases are produced. These wines are made for cellaring and sharing on special occassions. Reserve Shiraz 2008
This Reserve Shiraz was created after considered tasting from an equal blend of old vine and young vine fruit barrel fermented and matured in a 40% – 60% blend of new and aged French oak. The intense flavours of blackberry, cassis and cedar are balanced by the ripe tannins which carry the wine through to a very long and satisfying finish.This wine will age well in your cellar for at least the next decade.
Reserve Shiraz 2007
Limited cases remaining
Made from a careful selection of barrels this powerful and complex wine displays rich, sweet blackberry and complex aromas of roasted coffee bean, char and spice that leap from the glass. On the long, mouth filling palate, concentrated dark fruit and pepper sit well with layers of spice and a firm tannin finish which will give long life in the cellar.
Wine Companion 2010
Here the savoury tannins are present from start to finish, but the greater density of the blackberry, spice and licorice fruit is sufficient to carry those tannins.
