Vineyard: Workshop, Angus Brae & Three Springs
Varietal: 100% Shiraz

Aromatically intense, the wine shows notes of blackcurrant and mulberry fruit along with a hint of subtle roasted spices. On the palate a mixture of darker blackcurrant fruit is joined by red fruited cherries and a glimpse of secondary flavours of mocha, coffee and dark chocolate. This early mouth-filling fruit presence is then enveloped just enough by a tannin frame that is slightly more prominent than some previous years. This provides genuine structure, balance and control as the wine moves through the mouth.

"Aged for 12–14 months in seasoned oak hogsheads. Characters of ripe blood plums, macerated summer berry fruits and cranberry on a base of spice, dark chocolate, licorice and earth. Medium bodied with a fresh line of acidity, gentle tannin and a medium-length finish with plenty of spicy, black-fruited enjoyment. There is good value here."
