Medium body with red cherry, mulberry and coconut aromas and a palate with bright and elegant fruit.

This full bodied wine displays aromas of blackberry and black pepper supported by spicy, dark fruits on the palate with subtle integrated oak. The extensive finish is framed by elegant, fine grained tannins.  

The hand-picked grapes were destemmed, but not crushed, and spent seven days on skins in an open fermenter with twice daily hand-plunging and gentle pump-overs of the cap to extract colour, flavours and tannins. This was followed by careful basket pressing and maturation in a combination of American and French oak barrels for twenty two months prior to bottling. In keeping with our non-interventionist winemaking style we have neither fined nor filtered this wine and as a result decanting is recommended. 

Aged in american oak for 9 months, this Mudgee shiraz has aromas of blackcurrants, cherries, and spick which follows thru to a luscious and lingering palate with hints of chocolate.
