Grape:ShirazVineyard:Ross Hill Origin:Orange, NSW, Australia ABV%:14.5%
Colour:Deep ruby red Aromas:Plum, blackberry, cedar and vanilla Flavours:Plum,
blackberry, cherry and black pepper. Oak, vanilla and clove. Leather, earthy and
tobacco notes to finish. Other:Dry, medium acidity, full body and high tannins.
Drink now but suitable for ageingOpaque and brooding when poured, with classic
aromas of white pepper, graphite, dried herbs and plums – fragrant and refined.
It’s medium weight, but lacks nothing as it is amazingly balanced and integrated
for a wine of its age. Oak is present, although it’s happy to play a supporting
role. The core of this wine is built around intense fruit from low-yielding
vines from a vintage of great quality. It will outlive most Australian Shiraz
from traditional warmer regions, and is far more food friendly.
