Bobbie Burns Shiraz 2019
The 50th vintage of our classic Rutherglen Shiraz.
DESCRIPTION
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red, crimson tints. The nose is full and lifted, brimming with black plums, complexed with star anise, dark chocolate and soft vanillin oak.
Wine Making
The dry winter and heat spikes through the summer growing season have produced a wine with incredible depth and concentration of fruit flavours. After fermentation on skins for seven to ten days using open hand plunged vats and closed fermenters, this 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
Enjoy now with a Moroccan spice rubbed fillet of beef or over time with slow braised beef or lamb. Cellar up to 2040.

Palate:
A powerful wine, exploding with flavour of summer pudding, blackberries and spiced plums. Smooth and seamless, supported by subtle French oak and vibrant silky tannins to finish.
