Tasting Notes

Aroma

A gorgeous bouquet of rich plum and black cherry with toasty spice and black olives.

Palate

The palate is bursting with flavour, it is wonderfully smooth with soft velvety tannins.

Vinification

Hand-picked fruit is crushed and destemmed to static fermenters. Ferments are maintained at cool temperatures with minimal pump overs, to ensure delicate extraction of flavours and colour. The wine is on skins for up to one month and then pressed off to a mix of French oak barrels - forty percent in new and the remainder into second and third use oak for eighteen months barrel maturation.

Cellaring Potential

10+ years.

Vintage Notes

Leading into 2022 we saw a cold wet winter, followed by a cool spring which resulted in good flowering and fruit set. The back end of the year warmed up and we then saw consistently warm, dry conditions which resulted in great vine growth and berry development. The fruit harvested showed beautiful flavour, balance and ripeness.

Region Notes

We source a single vineyard in the Frankland River Region for this wine. This region is perfectly suited to producing many red and white varieties due to its continental climate combined with low vigour and moderate ripening conditions. We have chosen this particular vineyard for its ability to produce typical Frankland River Shiraz, which as a result of being a cool climate, is intense in colour with ripe flavours yet is elegant in style and structure.

    No winemaking details, so not sure what differentiates the reserve from its sibling, straight shiraz, aside from a heavier bottle and certainly oak as this is dripping with cedary, sweet wood, and it's dominating (back label states aged 18 months in French oak, but percentage of new not known). Yet the fruit within is very good, dark, spiced plums, ironstone and aniseed, a hint of pepper. The full-bodied palate comes coated with ripe, plush tannins, fresh acidity, then the sweet oak comes whooshing through. Points: 92/100
