Our Reserve Shiraz Cabernet is a museum-released, meticulously crafted, great
Australian red. This wine is the pinnacle of the portfolio.
2015 was an ideal season for red varietals in the pyrenees with a warm winter creating an early bud burst and extended growing season. Harvested in the cool of the morning and processed into small batch open top fermenters, the wine was cold soaked to slowly extract the varietal flavours. With a naturally starting ferment, the fruit was traditionally handled and submerged with french oak boards to minimise
all mechanical extraction and maximize the fruit aromatics and flavours. The wine was then placed into french oak barrels where it was allowed to age and develop.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
Rich red brick in colour with beautiful aromatics of blueberry and blackcurrent, this wine is interestingly more Cabernet dominant in style than Shiraz which is contrary to its blend percentages. A supple and velvety palate presents itself with flavours of earthy tones and forest floor fruits which are enriched by hints of mint and bitter chocolate. Drink now or age for decades to come.
