Dark berry fruit and gentle pepper spice create a smooth and elegant Shiraz.
Description
| Vineyard Region: | Heathcote |
|---|---|
| Wine Analysis: | Alc/Vol: 13.5% |
| Colour: | The 2016 Shiraz has a bright brick red colour and medium-bodied in style. |
| Aroma: | This wine has fantastic lifted aromas of red and dark berry fruits and the classic pepper notes of Heathcote Shiraz. |
| Palate: | These aromas follow through to the palate which has generous juicy fruit and a fine tannin structure. This supple Shiraz drinks well now but cellaring for 3 to 5 years from vintage will add complexity. |
| Peak Drinking: | Until 2021 |
Recommended food pairings: This juicy Shiraz would be perfect with beef carpaccio drizzled in olive oil and topped with cracked black pepper and shaved parmesan cheese. Or try it with a Szechwan pepper coated tuna steak cooked medium rare with a light green salad.
Growing Conditions: The grapes for this wine were harvested from mid February to early March at baumé levels ranging from 13.0 to 15.0.
Winemaker: Geoff Alexander
Winemaking notes: Following malolactic fermentation, the wine spent 12 months in new (10%) and older American and French oak barriques and puncheons. It was bottled with an alcohol of 13.5%, a pH of 3.6 and an acid level of 6.0 g/L.
