The 2009 gb Shiraz shows deep purple colouring, with pleasing aromas bursting from the glass. A highly perfumed Shiraz, the bouquet features red berry fruits, spice, confectionary
notes and milk chocolate. A generous and round palate, the red berry flavours fill the mouth and are complimented by boiled lollies flavours, milk chocolate notes and sweet vanilla. The wine has a soft tannin structure with well integrated acid that complements the sweeter aspects of this wine. An elegant yet fresh style; the Shiraz is sure to please many palates and would be well suited to grilled Atlantic Salmon with a roasted baby tomatoes and fresh steamed greens.
An excellent growing season allowed maximum development of varietal Shiraz characters and concentration of flavours. The fruit was harvested from growers in the Barossa, and the remainder from respected premium growers in South Australia’s Riverland.
