RLB Shiraz
COLOUR
Garnet red with purple edges.
NOSE
Aromas of dark berries with a hint of vanilla and pepper spice.
PALATE
Full bodied flavours of ripe plum are followed by soft tannins. Nuances of milk chocolate show on the finish which is long and recalls a vanillin sweetness.
FOOD MATCH
A glass with dinner makes for a great evening. Sip by the open fire or when watching your favourite movie.
WINEMAKER COMMENTS
The Shiraz grapes were harvested and given a cold soak prior to 14 days fermentation. The wine was then pressed off and racked to a mixture of new and old American oak hogsheads. This vintage was warm to mild, resulting in a long ripening period.
