Winemaker’s Comments
Colour: Intense, rich ruby.
Bouquet: The sweet, dark-fruit, Shiraz characters dominate initially while herbaceous, red-fruit notes of the Cabernet Sauvignon are evident in the background. A touch of cloves adds a bit of a tingle to a homely “leather shop” appeal.
Taste: The wine is medium full-bodied with a smooth, velvety texture, fresh acid balance and a sweet smokiness reminiscent of the Old Man’s pipe tobacco. A lingering and friendly aftertaste completes the experience and sets up the palate for the next sip.
Ageing Potential: Enjoy now or experience its complexities enhanced with a further 3 to 8 years of cellaring.
Food Pairing: Easily enjoyed on its own, but will compliment, beautifully, braid lamb chops, pan-fried steaks with rosemary and truffle butter, simple beef burger or grilled, stuffed brown mushrooms amongst others.
