Packed with sweet spiced fruit, the 2008 Shiraz is generously flavoured but still fine, soft and medium-bodied. Plum, liquorice and blackberry flavours are spun around a core of dark fruit and earthy tannin.
Shiraz works well in some regions and perhaps not in others, but there is no doubting that it is adaptable. The same might be said of one or two other varieties, but the thing that makes Shiraz interesting is that it really expresses regional differences. There are a number of regions in Australia that excel with the cool-climate, more spicy style of Shiraz, and the Canberra District is right up there.
Our 2008 Shiraz was picked earlier than normal, but also riper than normal, thanks to a hot vintage. It is the richest, fullest-bodied Shiraz we have made, and spent a little extra time developing depth and complexity in barrel.
