Description
"This is impressively fruited and beautifully lifted on the nose showing blackberry, blueberry compote, cedar and vanilla characters with a hint of pepper spice. The palate is succulent and plump, delivering fleshy mouthfeel and silky texture, wonderfully framed by supple tannins. The wine is instantly appealing with loads of tasty flavours. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sept 2018
The nose of this intriguing Mystery wine reveals floral and wild herb aromas with notes of red plum, smoked bacon and white pepper. The palate contributes further plum and herb characters, wrapped up with silky smooth tannins. This Mystery Shiraz is a supple and highly approachable wine that is excellent with food.
The fruit for this Mystery wine was destemmed and crushed directly into stainless steel fermenters for fermentation with Rhone isolate yeasts directly after harvest. After pressing and malolactic fermentaiton, 80% was transferred to a mixture of new and seasoned oak barrique’s (20% new overall) for maturation, with the balance kept in tank. After 20 months maturation on light lees, the wine was blended, lightly egg white fined and filtered before bottling.
Food Pairing: Herb crusted red meats and game, especially venison, dishes featuring spice and a variety of cheeses.
