2016 Sandwell Shiraz
Grape Variety: Shiraz 100%
Region: McLaren Vale 100% grown on Foggo Road
Special Notes: Vines planted in 1915 and are dry grown, handpicked; hand plunged in open fermenters and basket pressed. Aged for 18 months in seasoned French oak barriques.
Only 138 cases made
Colour: Deep rich hues
Bouquet: Much more than just a fruit bomb, this wine shows subtle complex savoury aromas of soy sauce and nutmeg which emerge in the glass.
Palate: Dense sweet dark fruit with even poise through the palate showing wonderful balance and length of flavour. The palate is medium to full bodied and has a gentle mouth feel with firm tannins to finish. This wine will evolve nicely in the cellar over the next 10 years.
Vintage conditions: The growing season for the 2016 season was close to ideal. The heatwave experienced in December was immediately followed by a rejuvenating rain in late January and early February the cool weather that followed the rains resulted in a slow even ripening process. The vines gently ticked away at their job, with ideal flavour development.
