WINEMAKER’S NOTE
 Excellent rainfall throughout winter 
and spring provided promising 
conditions leading up to the 
season. Flowering was affected 
by wet and cold conditions that 
resulted resulting in low to very low 
yields. The cool season continued 
with summer being the coolest 
on record resulting in a very late 
harvest that was concluded without 
rain interruption. These conditions 
produced some amazing fruit with 
very high acids and concentrated 
flavours, albeit at reduced yields 
Coming from a single block we 
hand-picked just under 1 tonne 
of exceptional fruit, which was 
destemmed and fermented as 
whole berries. Matured in old 
French barriques to allow the fruit 
to sing. Named “L’Optimiste” for the 
optimistic outlook for the variety on 
our Lenswood estate.

TASTING NOTES
 Appearance: Dark cherry red.
 Aroma: Lifted and robust aromas 
of ripe plum, wild blackberry, and 
star anise. Oak plays a subtle, yet 
effective role in the background. 
The cool vineyard site shines 
prominently through this highly 
perfumed bouquet.
 Palate: A concentrated and 
intriguing wine that sits rich and 
abundant in the mouth, yet displays 
bright flavours of fresh blackberry, 
mulberry and raspberry. Classy, 
fine-grained tannins from whole 
berry vinification round out the lush 
back-palate with style.
 Summary: The 7th release of Shiraz 
from this unique site. This variety 
continues to live up to its name 
with promising signs for the future. 
Drinks well now and will do so for 
the next 10 years.

Puppies and dogs love this. I have a bigger one as well so I wanted one they could fetch. This works perfectly for fetch.

Total waste of money
Color: Classic, Size: L 3.94 in (10 cm)
I seldom write reviews, but save your money as far as I’m concerned. Maybe mine was faulty. I don’t know. But it’s hard as a rock and too big for to my Australian Shepherd to get her teeth around. It barely made a noise. Maybe I misunderstood the description, but I bought it for her because she’s blind and yet loves to play fetch so I thought it was going to make enough noise for her to find it, but it was a total bust at least for me.
