This reserve shiraz does not compromise on quality; single vineyard fruit is thoroughly vetted, partially whole berry fermented then matured for 18 months in 50% new French oak barrels. We end up with a seriously classy drop boasting violets, lively dark fruit, and chalky, fine grained tannins. The seamless integration of the oak is what really sets this shiraz apart from its contemporaries, the wine flows across the palate like silk and builds to a softly tannic and plum driven finish. Not only a well made wine but a deeply enjoyable one that will live long in the cellars of those who have the patience.
