Tasting Notes

A deep ruby in colour, with a captivating nose that blends dark berry fruits, earthy mushrooms, and subtle spice. On the palate, it delivers layers of ripe blackberries, plums, and dark cherries, complemented by hints of savoury earthiness and a touch of tobacco. The oak influence is evident but perfectly balanced, adding smooth vanilla and toasted notes. The wine finishes long and smooth, with firm tannins and refreshing acidity that promise great ageing potential.

Food Pairing Suggestions:

• Grilled Steak with Mushrooms: The earthy notes of the wine pair beautifully with a rich grilled steak topped with creamy mushrooms.
• Lamb Rack: The plush fruit and structure of the wine complement the richness of roasted lamb, making for an elegant pairing.
• BBQ Ribs: The wine’s robust character is a perfect match for smoky, spiced barbecue ribs.
• Charcuterie: A selection of cured meats, cheeses, and olives enhances the wine’s depth and earthy undertones.
• Pasta with Bolognese Sauce: A rich, meaty pasta dish pairs wonderfully with this wine’s balanced fruit and savoury complexity.

Best Serving Temp: For optimal enjoyment, serve at 16-18°C. This slightly cooler temperature allows the wine’s aromas to open up and the fruit character to shine, while maintaining its crisp acidity.

Technical Terms Explained

• Shiraz: A bold, full-bodied red grape known for its dark fruit flavours and spicy, peppery notes. It’s often used to create rich, intense wines like this one.
• Cabernet Sauvignon: A popular red grape variety known for its deep colour, structured tannins, and blackcurrant and herbal flavours. It adds complexity and structure to this blend.
• Oak Ageing: The process of ageing wine in oak barrels, which can impart flavours of vanilla, spice, and toast to the wine. It also softens the wine’s tannins and adds complexity.
• Tannins: Natural compounds found in grape skins, seeds, and stems, as well as from oak barrels. They give wine structure and contribute to its mouthfeel. In this wine, the tannins are firm but smooth, contributing to the long finish.

• Cellar Potential: The ability of a wine to improve over time with proper storage. This wine has excellent ageing potential, so it will evolve beautifully if cellared for the next 5-10 years.
