DESCRIPTION

Tasting Notes

Dark, ruby red. The nose is full and lifted, brimming with integrated plummy fruit and soft vanillan oak.

Wine Making

After fermentation on skins for six to seven days using closed and rotary fermenters, the wine was subsequently aged for a period of 18 months in a mixture of new to three year old premium French and American barrels.

Cellaring

The favourable 2018 growing season has produced a Bobbie Burns Shiraz with incredible depth and concentration of fruit flavours. Our long history with this wine suggests it will continue to develop in the bottle for a further 10-12 years. Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb.

Technical

The Grapes: Shiraz from our “Bobbie Burns” vineyard in Rutherglen.
Date Tasted: February 2020
T.A (g/l): 6.5g/l
pH: 3.60pH

Palate:

This wine is full bodied with powerful characters of blackberries and dark plum fruit. Smooth and seamless, supported by subtle charred oak. A wonderful vintage that is drinking well in its youth but destined to reward careful cellaring.

"This release marks the 49th vintage for Bobbie Burns. The secret to its longevity is its honesty, which is nicely expressed here. It is right in the medium-weighted, down-to-earth, totally accessible, classic Aussie shiraz style. Solid in dark fruits, discreet in oak, awash in tingling, woodsy spice and melded together by fine tannins. Length is assured, the pleasure factor high." - Jeni Port - 94 points
