VINEYARD REGION Mickans & Schutz Vineyards | Ebenezer | Barossa Valley
VINTAGE CONDITIONS The growing season began with above average rainfall
that filled soil profiles, however spring and summer were dry, with temperatures slightly above average. Early lignification and flavour development allowed for picking at optimum flavour, without excessive sugar. Harvest was relatively early, with reds showing excellent varietal expression, plush palates and fine tannin structure.
GRAPE VARIETY Shiraz
MATURATION Matured in 74% seasoned and 26% new French oak barrels for 18 months to enhance complexity.
COLOUR Rich, velvety purple with a deep, dark core.
NOSE A sumptuous, multifaceted nose of dark red berries, cassis and prunes with complex notes of charcuterie, mocha, panforte, chicory root, chinotto and black olive.
PALATE Fleshy, opulent dimensions and a velvet plushness are defining elements on the palate, with full, firm tannins pulling everything into line and providing balance and foundation. Lingering dense fruit flavours and refined French oak enhance the finish.
Winemaker: Kate Hongell
Peak Drinking: Great with venison with caramelised shallots and horseradish, or kangaroo fillet with beetroot relish.
