Tasting Notes
Shiraz gives lifted aromas of blackberry, plum and black pepper with spicy, dark berry fruits on the palate has benefited from the addition of Primitivo, native to southern Italy, adding vibrant cranberry, raspberry and strawberry flavours. The finish is long with fine grained tannins from eighteen months maturation in both new and seasoned American and French oak barrels.

The Primitivo (aka Zinfandel) comes from bush vines, a method of growing demanded by Zinfandel if it is to show its best. This is an attractive wine given the vintage, with its mix of blackberry and red cherry fruit, the oak well-balanced.
