Wine Notes

The growing season was terrific with no frosts, warm temperatures and timely rains in January before a dry and warm harvest period. Fully ripe fruit was achieved without vine stress or a need to rush the fruit.

The Sheep shank Shiraz is from the Byronsvale vineyards 40 year old vines which has been slowly resurrected to provide low yielding crops of fantastic quality.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Deep dark red with purple tinge.

Bouquet: A powerful bouquet of black pepper, dark berries with cedary vanilla oak support.

Palate: A rich and finely focused with red berry characters and ripe tannins in a long intense finish. The rich ness and savoury aspects makes for a great food wine now and will cellar 5 to 8 years to a powerful complex Shiraz.
