Shiraz 2009

Packed with sweet spiced fruit on the nose, while the palate is full of red and black fruit flavour. This is one of our most concentrated and intense vintages of Shiraz, with savoury complexity and great drive and length from fine tannin.

Canberra District Shiraz has been getting a lot of attention lately, especially with some of the newer brands making great wines. Even in this context, the 2009 vintage has been hailed as an excellent shiraz vintage. We keep ours in barrel a little longer than most, as we feel the wine continues to develop very positively, and often the tannin style from our vineyard benefts from it.

Naturally, we're excited to be able to release this wine. For us, it is distinguished from previous vintages by its great fruit purity, and tremendous intensity. It is still tightly wound, but already showing great charm and character.

"Bright colour; a fragrant bouquet and an elegant, medium-bodied palate; ripe blackberry and plum fruit has a savoury, spicy twist to provide texture and structure; the complexity builds on the long finish. Rating: 93, Drink By: 2024." (James Halliday Australian Wine Companion)
